Keep having to enter the language and keyboard layout

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)

Re: Keep having to enter the language and keyboard layout

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.

Sorry, it should be the other way around....lang=en_US kmap=us

Re: Keep having to enter the language and keyboard layout

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.
