      When i use (fog settings -> general settings) kernel args (pkeys=fr) or keymap (fr-latin1 ) don’t work. Is there another way to make it work.
      Thanks
      Francis

        @francis-r Is it FOS Linux or the FOG iPXE menu?

        In a test host target computer in the host definition set the kernel args value to locale=fr_FR.UTF-8 Lets see if that can change FOS linux. The iPXE menu will take a different approach.

        Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

          It’s, i suppose, ipxe menu. I tried what you said but don’t work. I wil take a test on compiling Ipxe.

            @francis-r The ipxe.efi/undionly.kpxe manages the FOG boot menu. Once you make a selection then bzImage and init.xz are loaded then its “the kernel” that is in charge. So if you have issues selecting things or entering passwords into the boot menu then its iPXE that needs to be refactored. I know I’ve recompiled ipxe in the past with an alternate keyboard. So its possible. FOG has the programs already installed to recompile ipxe all you need to do is just update the keyboard config file to use something other than US english.

            Here are the instructions for recompiling iPXE using FOG: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/15826/updating-compiling-the-latest-version-of-ipxe you will just need to find and update the config file
