problem setting boot parameter lang

With latest cooking I cannot set this parameter. At bootloader prompt I write slitaz lang=en, but after few seconds I obtain "cannot open locale definition file 'en': No such file or directory", I press enter and a new message says "please logout of your current session and login again to use slitaz with en_US locale", pressing enter I'm prompted to select my keymap and boot go on. If at boot prompt I specify slitaz lang=en_US, first message doesn't show, but I'm prompted to select my lang from the list, and after that, second message is displayed.

Hi.

Have you tried the installation by default?

Do not put anything in the bootlander

I think the default installation is in English.

Re: problem setting boot parameter lang

Thanks a lot.

It seems that problem is only with lang option, so, I can set i.e. home option with no issue, right?

Another question:

I found different solution on the net, where's the file I have to modify to set boot option permanently? my pen is ext3 formatted.

Grub bootloader?

/boot/grub/menu.lst

Re: problem setting boot parameter lang

no, by default slitaz is bootstrapped by extlinux (isolinux if on fat partition, AFAIK)

To be more precise, I don't know if I have to modify /home/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf, or the same file located under the boot/extlinux directory of my usb pen.

Re: problem setting boot parameter lang

slitaz-3.0.iso in isomaster:

It appears to be a combo of isolinux.cfg common.cfg and the language.cfg you select.

/boot/isolinux/isolinux.cfg

/boot/isolinux/common.cfg

/boot/isolinux/en.cfg

Re: problem setting boot parameter lang

my live is on a usb pen formatted in ext3, then I have no /boot/isolinux but /boot/extlinux. So, I have to use the files present into Main_Dir/boot/extlinux (where Main_Dir is the same location containing rootfs.gz), and not the ones located into /home/boot/extlinux inside my root env, right?

home= option works, but kmap= is ignored
