With your hints I was able to solve the problems.

manual selection of partition type (e.g. DOS/MBR or GPT).
2. d-i seems to call grub-install on /dev/md

Questions:
AFAIK, I don't need GPT for such small disks, right?
Is there an easy and safe way to change the disk from GPT to DOS/MBR?

But if I put / on a hard drive logical partition and /boot on a

Hey Chris just FYI another user posted:
debconf-get-selections from debconf-utils
Add '--installer' to get the settings for the installer, omit to get the
settings for all other (installed?) packages.
Which on quick glance, is what I was looking for. Eternally grateful,
thanks guys!
Chris

Hi All, I am wondering if anyone knows where I can find a comprehensive
list of debian-installer key/value pairs for preseeding. I discovered
/var/cache/debconf/templates.dat but that doesn't show *all* keys.

There are just too many options to document and an added issue is that a
lot of them are not under t

Hi,
I downloaded the latest d-i:
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/sid_d-i/arch-latest/i386/iso-cd/debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso
and used it to install a lenny system but only with what was in the iso.
Ran into the following:
I don't want lenny, I want sid and have a sid
ag to sda4, and the
ploblem was solved.
Since I had 2 machines to setup, I choose the daily build for the second
machine. Got to the same problem.
If someone could confirm before filing a bug report agains D-I
Thanks

Hello list!
I am setting up an automatic installation using preseed. I'm using the
'd-i preseed/late_command string'
option to make it wget a script and run it.
My challenge is to make this script run in foreground because it is
interactive. How can I do that in d-i?
Blessings!

OK, so what would be the best way to achieve at least point 1
manually? I assume, I take the complete disk as PV, right?
Than I create a VG on it. Follow the logival volumes, but do

Neither of those configuration options are yet available in d-i. You

Hi,
two questions related to the current d-i (lenny) netinst CD:
1. I like to have half of my disk crypted (with /, /usr/, /home,
all in one crypted partition), and the other half without
encryption e.g. as /usr/local). What is the easiest way to
achieve this?
2. Because I&#
