It can do so automatically. Imagine if every program, when started,
would ask for the lang and keyboard. That would be silly, the user
session already has a default language (BTW, hwo do you get to that,
is it just $LANG?).

I see no reason to put up with it, really. Anaconda has an internal
variable what holds this info, that can be initialized from a ks file.
It should be trivial to simply initialize it from the current running
environment (but again, how do we ge to it?).
