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.It's a well known bug unfortunately I have asked the same question some time ago on the French debian-user list, and frederic boiteux gave me some interesting clues. You may search for this thread : "Configurer un clavier français via preseed" A similar bug was reported with an Hungarian keyboard, without any fixes so far. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=931368 RegardsThanks for the information. However I just checked by doing a fresh installation with BIOS PXE boot, di-netboot-assistant and a preseed file served by TFTP: locale and keyboard layout are properly applied: - during install once preseed.cfg is loaded - after rebootYes, because this is delayed after the preseed file is fetched! :) But if I'm not mistaking, you want to be able to specify the hostname manually because you have no control over the dhcp server?
Exactly, so I want to preseed most of the question but: - hostname - user passwordAs the hostname and domain are asked before preseed file is fetched, I tried to use boot options to set the domain (it works) and the locale (which does not work).
Maybe preseeding has not been designed to use both file and command line options… I will submit a bug report, please tell me if you think I shouldn't.

I'm kind of lost on what you realy want to have. -- John Doe
