I am automating Buster installations with a preseed file. To do this,
I boot the installer successfully with parameters `auto=true
url=tftp://my_server domain=mydomain`.
However, before loading preseed.cfg, installer asks for computer name:
I would like this question to be asked in French and more importantly
to have the keyboard layout configured in French.
I have tried many boot parameters (layout=fr, layout=fr(latin9),
language=fr, language=fr_FR.UTF-8…) but could not find anything
working.
After answering this question, preseed.cfg is loaded so language and
keyboard layout are properly applied.
Any idea?
Not sure the exact answer to your question is there, but I recommend to
look throught the (old but full of clever insights some still relevant)
