I know that my method will work, given you have enough memory.  I was easily able to remaster with 256Megs of ram, but I had 2 cd drives so I wasn't booting to memory.

If you were able to modify the isolinux.cfg file before and have changes take effect using your method (your 9/8 7:07 post), I can't see why you couldn't combine our two methods:

Modify boot/isolinux/isolinux.cfg the way you did before, only add the KBDMAP fr.kb line in addition to the lang=fr change.  Create the french keyboard file with

/usr/sbin/keytab-lilo fr > fr.kbd

and move that into the boot/isolinux directory.  Then burn the disk.  Since your change worked for lang=fr, it should work for the rest as well.

well it seems i did wrote with my feet in the post you quote :p , as i was meaning that the cheatcode "dsl lang=fr" was working.
none of my editing in isolinux.cfg had visible results, which i now understand as i was using multisession to apply the changes to the cd (not cdrw) content.

yes, I created mine right in the /home/dsl directory ( ~ ).

But now that I think about it,  I can't see why the multisession CD wouldn't work.  It's isolinux.bin and boot.cat that are linked to the boot sector, not isolinux.cfg.  So perhaps you could come up with a clever way to burn the dsl 0.8.0 iso as a multisession, and the create a newcd/boot/isolinux directory with a new syslinux.cfg and fr.kb, make a new iso, and then burn that as well.

perhaps isolinux.bin is somehow linked to the first burn of isolinux.cfg and wont read the updated one ?
