With a Preseed File in the Boot Media
You can add a preseed file on the boot media (CD or USB key); preseeding then happens as soon as the media is mounted, which means right after the questions about language and keyboard layout. The preseed/file boot parameter can be used to indicate the location of the preseeding file (for instance, /cdrom/preseed.cfg when installing from a CD-ROM, or /hd-media/preseed.cfg when installing from a USB-key).
You may not preseed answers to language and country options as the preseeding file is loaded later in the process, once the hardware drivers have been loaded. On the positive side, live-build makes it easy to put a supplementary file in the generated ISO images (see section 9.3, “Building Custom Kali Live ISO Images” [page 237]).
