By one of the people heavily involved in developing the preseeding framework: http://www.fifi.org/doc/debconf-doc/tutorial.html You read the Guide and discover that lines in the preconfiguration file can be of the form d-i netcfg/hostname string somehost You see they all start with d-i. Then a package name and something from a debconf templates file, After that it is a matter of seeing how it turns out when you experiment. You are doing something 99% of people who install Debian never do, so having to put in some effort would be understandable. And having to ask about how to proceed (preferably without the value judgements) would not be unexpected. The installer is built from udeb files. What is in them is a primary source of information. If you are not consulting them in your project you are making things difficult for yourself. P.S. I conjured the 99% figure out of thin air. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
