[Fedora-livecd-list] [PATCH 0/2] Fix: honor keyboard language setting in a livecd image

Since system-config-keyboard switched to dbus, it no longer works
reliably to set the keyboard settings at boot. As a consequence we
cannot create a working livecd-image that honor the keyboard settings
in the kickstart file. These patches fix the problem.

The first patch is for spin-kickstarts and reads and applies the
desired keyboard settings from /etc/sysconfig/keyboard. The second
patch is for livecd-tools and writes the settings specified in the
kickstart file to /etc/sysconfig/keyboard so that they can be read at
boot.

I tested these with several combinations and it works with
--vconsole=xxx and --xlayouts=xxx without glitches. Comments are
welcome.
