Just do this under linux as root: mount -o loop theunnattendedlinux.iso /mnt/myunattended then copy the contents to /anywhere edit the /anywhere/isolinux/isolinux.cfg and add the kbd=de-latin1 to the append line (also the z_user z_pass and so on) then cd /anywhere and do this: mkisofs -V myownunattended -o myownunattended.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table . burn the new iso greetz Am Do, den 02.09.2004 schrieb Gerhard Hofmann um 11:20: Hi all, how can I customize the Linux-based boot disk in order to have German keyboard layout?

I changed the append line to look like this: append initrd=initrd, kbd=de-latin1, z_user=ingres, z_pass=Ingres, z_path=//lapsm/install Have run mkisofs as you suggested and burned new bootable CD. Unfortunately, now it claims Could not find ramdisk image: initrd, What's wrong? By the way, is there any way to define a boot menu in the cfg file? I'd like to have choice between enabled or disabled APIC. Yes, I know, I could press shift key when booting...

Just delete the , between the entries in the append line.

I was going to suggest configuring your DHCP server to send the kbd=... switch in DHCP option 233, but it turns out the boot disk configures the keyboard before grabbing a DHCP lease. This is fixed in next release, but for now you have the options: 1) Edit the isolinux.cfg file as Mario described and burn a new CD; or 2) Hold down the Shift key while the CD is booting to get a boot: prompt. Then type unattended kbd=de-latin1. Perhaps we ought to add a menu to the Linux boot CD. - Pat --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
