   I have installed the Live CD to disk but now every time I boot I have to select the language and keyboard.

   I used slitaz-4.0 (downloaded a day or so ago)

   A quick fix will be to append 'lang=en kmap=en_US' (or whatever your settings for these parameters are) to the grub command line in /boot/grub/menu.lst file.

   Glad that is solve. But here is an even more fundamental question. When the keyboard screen comes uo after the language screen: what, for the sake of the good Christ is the option for a US keyboard? I can't figure it out. I am out of patience. If I dont get a response, I will delete Slitaz and move on.
