3. As I'm doing a number of test installs to the same machine, I'm
using preseeding. How do I force the installer to ask if additional

obviously possible as the installer will fall back to manual if
there is missing required input.
apt-cdrom-udeb. Consult the templates file.
I have no idea what that means.
Download the apt-cdrom-setup udeb. Open it. Read templates. Clearer?
At the risk of proving myself clueless, marginally ;/
In reply to several of my threads, your replies have been of
form "...udeb...templates file..."
Causing me to do a series of minimally productive Google
searches each time.
That is not to say the dead ends followed were not
educationally worthwhile.
Up to now there have been multiple sub-tasks on my to-do
list not being blocked by not understanding
"...udeb...templates file..."
No longer true. So my diary of my latest journey with hopes

https://www.google.com/search?q=Download+apt-cdrom-setup+udeb+squeeze
lead to
http://packages.debian.org/stable/apt-cdrom-setup which said
{in part}
"Warning: This package is intended for the use in
building debian-installer images only.
Do not install it on a normal Debian system."
and lead to
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/all/apt-cdrom-setup/download
I downloaded it and extracted the 276.1KB file templates. I
browsed it and recognized the questions asked during a
manual install.
I've seen no reference to using it from preseed.cfg.
