Well, priority critical only one step shy of entirely non-interactive, and so blocked it from asking the question; the question which asks for which profiles is only asked at priority high or lower (and I believe is the default priority). So don't override the priority; questions need to be preseeded away if you want it to ask you which profiles :) Though, I suppose a simple-cdd mode where it runs in priority=critical, but still asks for the profiles would be interesting... could probably selectively enable that with another preseeded question... e.g. simple-cdd/always-ask-profiles=true. Try creating profiles/default.conf: mirror_components="main non-free" local_packages="./local-packages/" locale=en_GB keyboard=gb and running: build-simple-cdd --profiles gw,build The --conf option is really a legacy option that predates profiles, and I suspect it may not work correctly in a number of cases. live well, vagrant
