 +Bépo (french Dvorak) is not an available keyboard layout in the Graphical installation. This is a pity. But, once installed,to switch to a Bépo keyboard layout:
 +<code=bash>
 +sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
 +</code>
 +
 +Firefox and Thunderbird are replaced by Iceweasel and Icedove. But it's the same piece of software. If you already have a firefox session saved in your home folder, it will find it and all your settings will be available in Iceweasel. For Thunderbird, you'll needd to rename the ~/.thunderbird folder to ~/.icedove before starting it for the first time.
