doing autoinstallation for SuSE 12.1  i didn't suceed to configure our
MEZ time , german keyboard and language
the same way we did for 11.3.
this works fine here on my 12.1:

   <language>
     <language>en_US</language>
     <languages>de_DE</languages>
   </language>
   <keyboard>
     <keyboard_values>
       <capslock config:type="boolean">false</capslock>
       <delay></delay>
       <discaps config:type="boolean">false</discaps>
       <numlock></numlock>
       <rate></rate>
       <scrlock config:type="boolean">false</scrlock>
       <tty>tty1 tty2 tty3 tty4 tty5 tty6 tty8 tty9 tty10 tty11 tty12 
tty13 tty14 tty15 tty16 tty17 tty18 tty19 tty20</tty>
     </keyboard_values>
   </keyboard>
   <timezone>
     <hwclock>localtime</hwclock>
     <timezone>Europe/Berlin</timezone>
   </timezone>
...
I searched for hints , learning this configuration has moved
and i tried the following places for  the next lines:
<hwclock>localtime</hwclock>
       <timezone>Europe/Berlin</timezone>
     </clock>
     <keyboard>
       <keymap>german</keymap>
     </keyboard>
     <language>de_DE</language>
the <language> is not valid.
See my XML example above
...
1) after<install>
don't use <install> and <configure> anymore.
Those are deprecated since around 5 years
...
4) directly writing to sysconfig
<sysconfig_entry>
         <sysconfig_path>clock</sysconfig_path>
         <sysconfig_key>HWCLOCK</sysconfig_key>
         <sysconfig_value>--localtime</sysconfig_value>
       </sysconfig_entry>
       <sysconfig_entry>
         <sysconfig_key>TIMEZONE</sysconfig_key>
         <sysconfig_value>Europe/Berlin</sysconfig_value>
       </sysconfig_entry>
but working with y2confirm   timezone , keyboard and language are not
recognized in installation settings
and not installed .
if you configure it via sysconfig, it'll not show up in the y2confirm 
screen anyway.
