***
Fedora 40 Beta (rawhide).  I run the live setup, but first, because my keyboard is "Canadian French", and I succesfullly setup Canadian French, along with metric Canada), then...

After I start the installation execution, I find that the settings I made (keyboard most specifically) is not copied through to over-ride the USA default settings.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Install to allow local setup
2.  perform local setup, including keyboard selection
3. Perform the installation but with the wrong keyboard layout during the installation and 
   the wrong keyboard selection at first boot
