Ok Ben,Then what should i do? i've done what Live Manual says:"section
12.2: "This kind of customization is best accomplished with live-build
by placing the configuration in a preseed.cfg file included in
config/binary_debian-installer/". I've put the preseed.cfg in
config/binary_debian-installer, but it doesn't work, i also tried with
lb config options: --bootappend-install "d-i
debian-installer/language string es d-i debian-installer/country
string MX d-i debian-installer/locale string es_MX.UTF-8 d-i
console-tools/archs select at d-i console-keymaps-at/keymap select
latam d-i keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap select latam d-i
netcfg/enable boolean false d-i time/zone string Mexico/General"
and also wit lb config --debian-installer-preseedfile
/home/halconix/Escritorio/Construccion_Halconix/preseed.cfg
but none of those 3 different ways works, when the lb build process
it's complete and i test binary-hybrid.iso the debian live installer
does not take the parameters of my preseed.cfg file.
by the way, i want to customize the art of the installer, including my
own png images such as the logo_debian logo_installer note_icon
warning_icon, this images are in /usr/share/graphics directory in the
gtk initrd.
Do you know a tutorial for customizing the d-i???
