chroot_* influences what ends up in the filesystem.squashfs (aka 'the live system'); binary_* influences what ends up on the iso image (aka 'the live cd'). > * I would like to boot the iso using a default keyboard layout > of "de-latin1-nodeadkeys" and a locale of [EMAIL PROTECTED] (not using boot > parameters).

If I use "install-keymap" or "dpkg-reconfigure > console-data" in the created iso, I'm able to switch it.
