Modify install images: set locale, keymap and timezone

lynix · 2012-02-24 17:17:45

I'd like to change the default locale, keymap and timezone for my multi architecture Arch install stick.

As far as I understand, adding 'locale=xyz keymap=xyz timezone=xyz' to the APPEND-line in syslinux config should work, but the image gets mounted as read-only ufs.

Is there an easy way to do this little modification or do I have to create a complete custom image using archiso?

Thanks,

lynix

RO-UDF, yes sure, there is no need to write to UDF.

Can you give some details? What are you doing is correct.

edit: UFS != UDF

Sry my bad: I meant UDF, not UFS

So how can I change the file on my usb stick where I dumped archlinux-2011.08.19-core-dual.iso to?

Is not possible. If you want to do changes, you need to copy the contents manually and install syslinux as bootloader [#1]

On that point you can change easily syslinux.cfg
