Hello again... Sorry to be so insistent, but I forgot some of my doubts in the last email... 1) The keyboard is still a bit shady for me. I am using
console-data console-data/keymap/qwerty/layout select US american console-data console-data/keymap/family select qwerty on the default.preseed package, but dont know if it is correct. 2) I want also to include some files (scripts) in the image, and execute this scripts at the end of installation. How can I insert this files on the iso? 3) Does anybody have any experience with using simple-cdd and splash and boot screens? I think that if this works, would be a nice thing to do... ;-) 4) The localization part is almost working, I am just trying to set everything right. The problem is with the packages... all the packages get inside the CD image, but there are not installed - the section Selecting and Installing packages just fails. The default.packages includes the packages on the distro, but does not install then. I confess that I did not searched extensively the link that you send to me, but in my first survey nothing was said about that. A quick workaround that Ive found was to do a apt-get install x-window-system AFTER the first system boot, but this is kind of... ugly ;-) Thank everybody again!

Hello there, Vagrant, First, thank you for the quick answer! The localization part is almost working, I am just trying to set everything right. The problem is with the packages... all the packages get inside the CD image, but there are not installed - the section Selecting and Installing packages just fails. The default.packages includes the packages on the distro, but does not install then. I confess that I did not searched extensively the link that you send to me, but in my first survey nothing was said about that. A quick workaround that Ive found was to do a apt-get install x-window-system AFTER the first system boot, but this is kind of... ugly ;-) Thank you again!
