I have three F20 Beta installations. I wish to interact with Fedora using English, but two of my systems have CA(FR) as the only keyboard layout. and one has the latam keyboard layout. By selecting English, by default the English keyboard is selected for terminal mode.
In the keyboard selection hub, I definitely remove the English keyboard layout and replace it with CA(FR) or Latam, and I complete the installation with only one keyboard showing, the non-English one. And the keyboard mappings are 100% corresponding to the CA(FR) or latam layouts.
But, in terminal mode (ctl-alt-f2..ctl-alt-f6), the fact that within Anaconda I removed the English Keyboard and did the susstitution is not conveyed to update the terminal mode software settings.
Ergo the bug report for system-config-keyboard in terminal mode being necessary.
Since I know how to reselect the keyboard, it is, for me, not a show stopper. Has anyone else experienced the same problem as me using 20-Beta tc5 ?

If it were true, yes. It isn't.

There is a Keyboard spoke you can enter and add any number of keyboard
layouts you like, in any order of preference, and configure any key
combination you like for switching between them. (Layout switching at
the console does not work like X layout switching, and may need some
special-casing in langtable following the xkb-to-kbd conversion, but
that's kind of a separate topic).

Um. /etc/X11 will usually exist in an F20 install. If, for some reason,
it doesn't, you can create it, and configuration in the appropriate
places within it will work fine. And nothing in /etc/X11 has ever been
relevant to console layout configuration in any case.
