Actually right after my mail to this list I found your site by googling, and tried out those very same lines for B.4.1 by pasting them into my preseed file (not that I have a Swedish, keyboard but I thought it would be easy to change to de afterwards. Those lines did not work for me though. I must try out what happens in a qemu, maybe something is weird in my UEFI boot? > tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard, ssh-server > d-i pkgsel/upgrade select full-upgrade I don't quite get the distinction between "tasksel/first" and "tasksel/desktop". When I do a "tasksel --list-tasks" in the shell, it is just one list of all tasks (with various desktops mixed in). What eventually did work for me was putting stuff in "auto mode" like described in B.2.3, in grub.cfg. Putting language=en country=AT locale=de_AT.UTF-8 keymap=de desktop=lxde-desktop there seemed to work (I am not currently at the machine and had to stop in the middle of trying stuff out). Is it possible, that some of this stuff is broken/behaves differently on a real, physical, UEFI machine? > By all means feel free to use mine as a starting point if you want. I really tried. I was hoping to get some weird Swedish keyboard, but to no avail, the configuration dialogs just appeared anyway ;) /ralph
