Topic: How to set the language (Keymap, ....) for isolinux

Hello,

I added gparted-live-cd to  my"ultimate boot cd" (http://www.ultimatebootcd.com) with the following 2 lines in the boot-menu "custom.scn":


print " [F3] GParted Live-CD 0.3.4-0 (Linux Partitionierer  - kann auch NTFS)          "

if ($lastKey == key[F3]); then isolinux vmlinuz1 initrd=vmlinuz1.igz root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc vga=788 looptype=squashfs loop=/gparted.dat dokeymap cdroot splash=silent nosound docache


This works verry fine. But no I also want to set the Language (Keymap, ...) to german, so that the user do not get the prompts to select the language.

Is this possible?

just add 

setkmap=de

i think "de" is deutch, which means german, wie du wist :-p

Re: How to set the language (Keymap, ....) for isolinux

only adding "setkmap=de "does not work.

I added "setkmap=de" to the ultimate-boot-cd-command but gpartet prompts to select they keymap.
After I removed "dokeymap" from the command, gparted does not prompt to select the keymap but geparted did not use the german keymap.
Whats wrong?


Ohter question:

Is it also possible to set the languag with a isolinux command?

You add setkmap=de in the isolinux.cfg, right ?
try "10" in stead of "de"

Re: How to set the language (Keymap, ....) for isolinux

No I added setkmap=de in a menu-file of the ultimate boot cd.
This entry starts isolinux with the Parameter vmlinuz1 initrd=vmlinuz1.igz root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc vga=788 looptype=squashfs loop=/gparted.dat dokeymap cdroot splash=silent nosound docache

On my ultimate-boot cd I can not modify the isolinux.cfg because the ubcd use the isolinux.cfg.

But I will try to add setkmap=10 instead of setkmap=de.

setkmap=10 and setkmap=de does not work in the boot menu of the ultimate-boot-cd :-(.

Re: How to set the language (Keymap, ....) for isolinux

setkmap=de works with the new ultimate-boot-cd 4.x :-).

But how can i set the language?
I tried setlang=10 and setlanguage=10 but both does not work.

Can me someone tell the "cheat code" to set the language.
