The examples section of the manual has one use case that might already be considered a 'blend' installer example: http://live.debian.net/manual/en/html/live-manual.html#757 But now that I look at it, I think it's a bit buggy. The --bootappend-live parameter passes kernel commandline parameters that are used in the live system. In this case, when the system boots, the live-config scripts use the locales and keyboard-layouts parameters to generate the requested locales and set the keyboard layout. To ensure the installer is preseeded with the same settings, I would add: --bootappend-install "locale=pt_BR.UTF-8" According to the d-i doc, the keyboard layout should default to something appropriate for the locale. For further info, see: http://live.debian.net/manual/en/html/live-manual.html#493 http://live.debian.net/manual/en/html/live-manual.html#566 Two separate options are offered for preseeding the debconf questions asked at package install time when building the live system, and for preseeding d-i itself. The debian-installer preseed.cfg file would supercede any --bootappend-install preseed parameters, and is therefore suitable where there are a number of these. The chroot preseed.cfg has no equivalent in the example above. That would be used to ensure the packages that are installed at live image build time are properly configured. Since the live-installer uses the configured packages as its source at install time, there would be no need to copy those preseed configs into your d-i preseed.cfg as well. So a complete blend example should draw all of these elements together, either further expanding on the existing case, or else (and I think this would probably be better because of the new topics introduced) adding a new case that at least includes one chroot package preseed. Can you (or anyone else here) give me some input I could use to craft such an example? Ben -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-live-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
