Yes.  Reuben is working on it.

Yes, change tags, before the first boot.  At ok prompt:

ok tags(
ok delete-tag KL
ok add-tag KL fr
ok delete-tag LO
ok add-tag LO fr_FR.UTF-8
ok )tags \ laptop will reboot

Or, change tags, and force olpc-configure to re-run, by removing
/.olpc-configured and /home/olpc/.olpc-configured marker files.

For your situation the tags to change are:

- KL for the keyboard,

- LO for display language.

For your situation, the tags KM and KV should not change.

See read_config in olpc-configure
http://dev.laptop.org/git/projects/olpc-utils/tree/usr/sbin/olpc-configure#n103

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Manufacturing_data may be a useful set of
data for comparison.
