TIAMaybe not missing, but too much. At least since squeeze console and X are configured in the same place. On a recent wheezy install I see that only 'd-i keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap' is used. Hope this helps, Andrei
Thanks for the try. That gave identical result. I took your suggestion one step further and commented out ALL keyboard settings. Got the same result ;/
I think I see a common thread in the preseed related problems I've been having. Who proofreads the Debian documentation? I suspect it tends to be the author {as should happen} and other Debian *EXPERTS* {which is a too narrow classification}. I had that fallacy demonstrated over 40 years ago when I wrote my first test procedure. Corporate policy was to have someone unrelated to the project "test the test procedure" before giving it to the production test technicians. I had unconsciously written into the procedure my particular path of experience. Where should I raise this issue? I occasionally run into the same apparent issue with the debian.org website.
