Thank you. The computer is old, I do not see this option...
If its an old computer ...  You're using a USB keyboard, right?  It
probably has as "dedicated" keyboard port, probably circular.  (As well
as one for the mouse.)  Get an adapter and plug the keyboard into that
port. Or find an old keyboard with that type of port.  See what happens.

Thank you Patrick, but it is not a hardware problem.

This PC was under XP and did work fine. It is a debian (or linux ..?) problem but more probably a problem of the ISO debian install disk.

The keyboard is not active (but it works fine in the bios !).

A similar problem is described in
http://www.kasploosh.com/weblog/14000/14016-debian_jessie_usb_keyboard.html

Is there a workaround ?
Besides Mark's hints, there might be a setting in BIOS which
more or less lets your OS believe there are traditional keyboard
and mice. Search for something something "legacy".

Good luck
