setting default language and keymap in liveCD

dradsa · 2016-11-26 03:16:14

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 [c]INCLUDE i18n.cfg[/c] in /boot/isolinux/isolinux.cfg

# iso2exe -a "lang=en kmap=en" slitaz-rolling.iso -f

@ceel

Just remove STARTIFNOARG in i18n.cfg

@dradsa

A patched iso will skip STARTIFNOARG
