Pfew, it was just a Lenny issue after all. For Lenny we need to set: console-setup console-setup/layoutcode string console-setup console-setup/variantcode string I.e, *code templates instead of layout and variant. I've modified lenny-support to do this. My original patch was not 100% clean. All that's needed for Squeeze is: keyboard-configuration keyboard-configuration/variant select Changes: - removed the ""; simply omitting a value is the correct way; - no need to separately set the seen flag as setting the value will do that by default. It works for both Lenny and Squeeze now. Tested for both us and fr-latin9. Cheers, FJP -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
