* gfxboot.cfg has sections, in which section do I have to set
addopt.keytable=1 addopt.lang=1
Depends. There are three relevant sections in 11.2: install, boot, live which are used for normal install, installed system and live-cd.
can I simply do an echo "..." >> cfgfile ?
No, that won't work.
* and last question the branding packages provides a gfxboot.cfg for the isolinux case only what about the grub bootloader configuration can that be changed too ?
There is also a gfxboot.cfg for grub; it is packed into the 'message' file.
* How do I adapt the configuration when using the branding packages
gfxboot --config-file ... --change-config addopt.keytable=1
For an unpacked config file e.g.: gfxboot --config-file foobar --change-config live::addopt.keytable=1 if it's in an archive like /boot/message: gfxboot --archive /boot/message --change-config boot::addopt.keytable=1 -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
