Hello Rickard,

i am from germany and therefor interested in an german keybord layout. Neither 
ydl 3.0.1 nor 4.x set up the keybord layout properly. 
I never had the @ or funny german signs such as ä, ö, ü etc.
However it is posible to change it:

Tss are aware of this problem obvously. Way to go!

I tried the kubuntu-live cd on my iBook from www.kubuntu.org: the keybord 
layout was setup perfektly.

good luck

Krischan
