Hi list,<div><br></div><div>Not sure this is something that will be OK on the LiveDVD, but when I started the latest beta in VirtualBox the screen resolution is 800x600 only and with the graphical display manager I can't get more. I know that you can change this by editing configuration files, but we can't expect that a typical LiveDVD user (or my workshop participants) will be able to do this.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Very similar problem is the default keyboard. Lucky if you have a US keyboard layout, but very often the first thing people have to change is the keyboard layout. I suppose the Spanish keyboard is different as well. Any idea how to make this easy for users?</div>
