The solution that worked for me was to add it as a boot parameter.

For instance, I can select British, and then, the installation continues.

Of course I can overwrite the files that get installed, but that's not

How do you disable the 'Detect and Mount CD-ROM' when preseeding via

1. Being on dialup, I use a purchased copy of the 10 DVD set for
installation.
My preseed.cfg is on a USB stick. I use the "Automated install"
option. Pressing allows me to specify the file location. Of
course it comes to a halt saying the configuration file could not
be found. Switching scree
is used. But loading it does not lead to the language
and keyboard questions being asked. Hence - no preseeding is possible.
After examining the source package for preseed this resulted in #696857.
The issue should be fixed in Wheezy at least.

Look for preseeding individual packages, in
this case console-setup.

I am doing a series of experimental installs to a test
machine for the purpose of deciding what will work best for
my particular goals. Using preseed.cfg files allows me to
keep a record of what did or didn't work. My work
environment consists of:

I think there is a typo in the above. To perhaps save some grief for
someone reading the archives later I believe all of the above "/,/"

I think I now understand a little better what Section B.2.3. is trying
to say but wonder still whether it needs a rewrite to focus on what it
thinks is important for using auto mode when preseeding. Personally, I
would start by describing auto=true, then emphasise i
