Hi, I use the 'US programmer dvorak' keyboard layout, it's normally an option in a linux distro's graphical installer.

Is there a way to access more layouts during the graphical installer?
 
Would changing the layout after the installation work for you - or do you need the dvorak layout inside the installer?

(The list of layouts is currently hardcoded)
 
Changing the layout after installation can work, trying to find qwerty keys when you don't know them is very annoying

In the end I installed a regular debain so I can get a keymap I know in the installer, and then install proxmox on top of it afterwards

Imagine trying to create a root password on an unfamiliar keyboard layout. Getting past this point in the Proxmox install flow for non default kb users feels roughly akin to typing with oven mitts on. Please add the complete set of keyboard layouts.
