USB keyboard not working on install menu.
Hello,
During trying to install Wheezy 32. bit version with Xfce variant [1], USB
keyboard did not work. When - let say - an official Joy theme menu appears,
I can not change any available options, because keyboard did not respond/work.
None of the keyboard keys are not working so, I can not do anything.
For me, it seems to be a bug of the third beta of Debian 7.0 Wheezy installer [2].
I thought about sending a message to the bugs.debian website, but first I decided to
send a message here; debian-testing mailing list. Also, I do not know if this problem
is related to the computer devices like e.g. processor or graphic card etc, so I do not
give any of these information. Of course, if they will be needed, I will do it.
Information about keyboard are gathered from a computer running Wheezy/Sid.

I thought also about using a small lshw(1) command. So if it will be needed, please
let me know. Unfortunately, I have no possibility to check whether this issue is working
with the standard PS/2 keyboard. If I will have a possibility, then I will check it out.
Best regards!
