these two are handled by the commandline options which you included below (--locale and --keyboard) ... specifying them in the preseed file won't work- just use the commandline, or specify in profiles/KDEPROFILE.conf: locale=fr_FR keyboard=fr-latin1 > d-i clok-setup/utc boolean true > d-i time/zone string Europe/Paris > d-i pkgsel/include string standard kde-desktop > d-i pkgsel/include string kde-i18n-fr specifying a question twice will not work... it will select one or the other, but not both. also, simple-cdd makes no attempt to include packages specified with this question. best to add them to profiles/KDEPROFILE.packages. > d-i finish-install/reboot_in_progress note > I then launched the following command: > build-simple-cdd --locale fr_FR --keyboard fr-latin1 --profiles KDEPROFILE > (I didn't really understood the meaning of the --profiles-udeb option) the --profiles-udeb-dist option is merely to pull the simple-cdd-profiles udeb, which is what handles all the simple-cdd stuff in debian-installer. because simple-cdd wasn't included in etch, you need to get the simple-cdd-profiles udeb from sid or lenny. if it's already in the mirror that simple-cdd generates from a previous run, then you don't actually need to specify it again. > First strange behaviour: > I didn't say anything about partitionning, but the install only asks me > while partitionning is already finished. yes, profiles/default.preseed has some automatic partitioning selected by default, but still asks the question before it does anything data-destructive. > Install seems to succeed, but when my PC reboots, I see the message: > "Not starting internet superserver: no services enabled". And of course, > kdm wasn't launched. it doesn't appear that the packages you selected in profiles/KDEPROFILE.packages has anything that depends on kdm, so kdm is not likely present on your CD image. live well, vagrant -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
