Thanks so much for asking this. Now I have Live Build working in Jessie I am about to start on preseeding so I am interested in any helpful replies you get. I want to preseed language/country and keyboard (nothing much) when the image is installed to the computer so the user doesn't have to wade through a list of English speaking countries (di defaults to the USA for English and Australia is at the other end of the list). Sorting out the preseed contents is done I just need to know where to put it for it to work
