I've created a new iso using a clean config - I just added the 
above "--bootappend-live" parameter. By the way - I use an "up to date" Lenny 
in a VMware environment. After booting the ISO the locale is created and all 
German keys work, but not the Umlaut characters. If I execute a 'sudo 
install-keymap /usr/.../de-latin1.kmap.gz' the Umlaut characters work as 
expected.

Do you use the same configuration?
