Skipping tasksel during preseeding

[Carl Karsten]

I think this may help:

label ubuntu-jaunty-i386-handsoff
        kernel ubuntu/jaunty/i386/linux
        append initrd=ubuntu/jaunty/i386/initrd.gz root=/dev/rd/0 rw
locale=en_US console-setup/layoutcode=us netcfg/wireless_wep=
netcfg/choose_interface=eth0 netcfg/get_hostname= DEBCONF_DEBUG=5
url=http://shaz/ubuntu/jaunty/preseed.cfg tasksel:tasksel/first="" --
vga=6

root at shaz:/var/www # grep tasksel ubuntu/jaunty/preseed.cfg
#tasksel tasksel/first multiselect ubuntu-standard, ubuntu-desktop
