Thanks, John! Actually I have tried out the settings in example-preseed too, but it is not easy to find out (with so much stuff commented out, in what combination these entries have to be commented in in what scenario). At least the combinations I tried did not work. Actually I do not need any flexibility, just having what is the Default for German (or Germany or Austria, I basically do not care) would be enough for me. But neither the blanket "locale" value, nor the more detailed ones seemed to work for me. I think I made progress by configuring stuff in "Auto mode" which worked for most of the stuff I wanted to change, even if it seems a bit more clumsy, described in B.2.3 here: https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/apbs02.en.html#preseed-auto but see my reply to the other mail in this thread. /ralph
