 We'd like to set up a **Debian 8.2** box, but there is only a **Debian-7.6.0-amd64-netboot** template available, let's start with this one:
 <code>
-> veewee vbox define 'debian-8.2-amd64' 'Debian-7.6.0-amd64-netboot' --workdir=/home/thibaut/Vagrant
+> veewee vbox define 'debian-8.2-amd64' 'Debian-7.6.0-amd64-netboot' --workdir=/home/user/Vagrant
 </code>
+At this stage we have a //**definitions**// directory that was created under //**/home/user/Vagrant**// (our workdir). Inside this directory is another one named //**debian-8.2-amd64**// after our previous ''%%veewee vbox define%%'' command options. Inside this //definitions// directory we'll look at two files:
+__//**definition.rb**//__
+Change the following lines:
+<code>
+...
+  :iso_file => "debian-7.6.0-amd64-netinst.iso",
+  :iso_src => "http://mirror.i3d.net/pub/debian-cd/7.6.0/amd64/iso-cd/debian-7.6.0-amd64-netinst.iso",
+  :iso_md5 => "8a3c2ad7fd7a9c4c7e9bcb5cae38c135",
+...
+     'console-keymaps-at/keymap=fr ',
+     'keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap=fr ',
+...
+</code>
+To this:
+<code>
+...
+  :iso_file => "debian-8.2.0-amd64-netinst.iso",
+  :iso_src => "http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/8.2.0/amd64/iso-cd/debian-8.2.0-amd64-netinst.iso",
+  #:iso_md5 => "8a3c2ad7fd7a9c4c7e9bcb5cae38c135",
+...
+</code>
+The **iso_md5** parameter is commented out as I couldn't figure out where to find this for Debian releases :-\
+__//**preseed.cfg**//__
+Change the following lines:
+<code>
+...
+# Keyboard selection.
+#d-i keymap select us
+d-i keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap select us
+...
+d-i partman/default_filesystem string ext3
+...
+# Individual additional packages to install
+d-i pkgsel/include string openssh-server ntp acpid  sudo bzip2 rsync
+...
+#d-i grub-installer/bootdev  string (hd0,0)
+...
+</code>
+To this:
+<code>
+...
+# Keyboard selection.
+#d-i keymap select us
+d-i keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap select fr
+...
+d-i partman/default_filesystem string ext4
+...
+# Individual additional packages to install
+d-i pkgsel/include string openssh-server ntp acpid sudo bzip2 rsync ruby-dev
+...
+d-i grub-installer/bootdev  string /dev/sda
+...
+</code>
+Adding ruby-dev is mandatory here as otherwise an error will be thrown when trying to install some gems.
+=== Local iso repository ===
+We can create an **iso** directory in our workdir where downloaded iso will be stored for future usage (avoiding recurrent downloads).
+<code>
+> mkdir /home/user/Vagrant/iso
+</code>
+=== Build the box ===
+We can now tell Veewee to build our Debian 8.2.0 box:
+<code>
+> veewee vbox build 'debian-8.2-amd64'
+</code>
