BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 rw quiet lang=fr_FR.utf8 keyboard=fr-latin9

But qwerty/us.map definitely got loaded instead.

This should be "keyb" and not "keyboard". This is why it isn't working.

@Flux: this is what is done currently.

Fine!

I didn't examine the rc.scripts of SalixOS, this is just my way in Slackware 13.0, therefore my post ...

Sorry,

Quickly checked rc.live & noticed the keyboard cheatcode has been removed from it...
Is it meant to be handled somewhere else now?

BTW the proper cheatcode syntax used to be keyb=
Has that changed too or might this be the reason why it doesn't work?

It had to be keyboard at some point, cause I think it had worked at some point.

I still vaguely remember that JRD changed something, I think I never got a link/hint to those changes.
Which options do you want support for (in an additional menu) with 'Disable <option>' and 'Enable <option>'?
I think I'll move the keyboard part. So you're only prompted for language and the keyboard can be changed in a submenu displayed alongside "Start Salix Live" ....
Any other changes I missed?
This is meant as a sort of todo for me.

on this topic ( http://salixos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1211#p1211 ) I precised which are the cheatcodes available ^_^

Before my changes, they were keyb and keyboard cheatcodes, one invalide the other on different part of the boot.

I meant especially those to choose the environment (core, basic, full) to boot. I can't see them there.

I don't think we need a menu item for each option. Is this enough (lang is handled always):
- Load full environment (default)
- Load basic environment
- Load core environment
- Enable `Boot in runlevel 3'
- Disable `Boot in runlevel 3' (default)
- Enable `Copy everything to RAM'
- Disable `Copy everything to RAM' (default)
- Enable numlock on boot
- Disable numlock on boot (default)

The rest I don't think is commonly needed. And options like password=<any string> are not possible for me to add with grub2's current menu system.

Good idea.

So long as we are able to do it manually it should be fine

Can you also adapt Salix' Lilo menu's graphics to SalixLive grub menu?

So here's a new version:
http://gaia.homelinux.org/salix/livegrub2/

To build a test ISO run:

Code: Select all

wget http://gaia.homelinux.org/salix/livegrub2/build.tar.bz2
wget http://gaia.homelinux.org/salix/livegrub2/build.sh
wget http://gaia.homelinux.org/salix/livegrub2/grub.cfg
tar -xf build.tar.bz2
mkdir tmp
TMPDIR=./tmp ./build.sh --overlay=<path to salixlive-13.0-beta1.iso> --out=salixlive-13.0-beta1.iso --overlay=build/ --grubcfg=grub.cfg
rm -r tmp

Don't forget to tell me what you think. Whether you like the background/theme or you want a string (/menu entry) improved/moved.
Once we got everything approved, especially the strings, we can start translating the new ones. So far the en_US fallback strings are mostly used.
