hey everyone,

i am in the process of customizing the live CD, but am having issues setting the default language and keymap.

things i have tried:
append isolinux.cfg with lang=en kmap=en
append boot options menu with lang=en kmap=en
command line boot: slitaz lang=en kmap=en

have also tried variations on en such as en_US & en_GB
also tried omitting kmap just to see if i can set default language.

all of the above still presents me with 'Language Configuration' when loading the gui

any ideas?

Hi dradsa,

I don't know the reason but syslinux execute first the code of the /boot/isolinux/i18n.cfg file.

To prevent to display the language configuration screen at boot, comment the line INCLUDE i18n.cfg in /boot/isolinux/isolinux.cfg

Just remove STARTIFNOARG in i18n.cfg

@dradsa

A patched iso will skip STARTIFNOARG
