Topic: livecd or liveusb keyboard is unusable

hi.
i wonder what happened to your livecd (usb). 0.3.6-7

this version is horrible.

when i boot it. whatever i choose as option at the grub menu,
when i have to answer question in shell, (even i try to change the keymap), my keyboard is unusable.

because the backspace key is not working but printing some junk the first times then nothing. the arrow keys do not work neither. the key in the numpad neither

are you using a 102 keys keyboard by default or what ?

even if i have an azerty keyboard i can't use it as a qwerty keyboard because of those keys not working at all.

what have you broken ? what are you using that is so broken ?

and i have bump into this on 2 different pcs...
i am very disappointed to see that happened as after 5 reboot i could not still use gparted. on my other pc, i had the luck to go into graphical mode quickly and use my mouse instead. but this time i am fed up trying to use that broken **** !

for the many distro i have tried and tested, i have never seen that. at last if my azerty keyboard works as a qwerty, that's not a problem for me. at last, it is working !

Did you follow the recent version ?

There is a "testing" version too.
