Hello Thomas and all others, I finaly got locales and keyboard-configuration working in my NFSROOT / installation system. Thank you Thomas for help.
Thomas script in /etc/fai/nfsroot-hooks/locales works fine and adding (preconfigured) keyboard-configuration and console-setup for keyboard-layout is easy. One thing still is mysterious for me: I would expect both to run out of the box from installation system, but it doesn't. Some variables and other configuration is done in defvar by userinput so I need localized keyboard and locales at this point but it's still in (I believe) LANG=C and QWERTY layout. Checking /etc/default/locale (says: de_DE.UTF-8) and /etc/default/keyboard (says german config) I find that all configuration from nfsroot-hooks is fine. No hint why it isn't working. I worked arround it by: export LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 dpkg-reconfigure -fnoninteractive console-setup (both placed in $FAICONFIG/hooks/setup.DEFAULT.source without further configuration). "dpkg-reconfigure locales" is not neccessary and "dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration" isn't neccessary, too but produces warnings about unsupported start and stop actions and missing LSB tags and overrides in 'rc.S.distrib' It's strange. All three packages got preconfigured in nfsroot-hooks, but two of them needs additional "activation". I can't imagine that this is how it's supposed to be. Does anyone know a more elegant Workaround and/or explain that behaviour? I boot from CD (live-boot instead of dracut) and use FAI-servers $FAICONFIG via NFS, if that matters. Christian Meyer
