Hello,
Not sure if this is the right list to ask for preseed help, so
please redirect me to a better source as needed.
I'm trying to fully automate an ubuntu 10.4-amd64 desktop install
in a unique oem install environment. The install environment is the
os install media are located on a small fat32 partition /dev/sda1 and
the network may not be available during the install. I am using the
alt cd iso, a custom preseed, and the hd-media kernel/initrd. The
fat32 partition boots and autoexec.bat launches linld.com with
kernel/initrd/kernel options which start the install.
I can run install with preseed file but am always prompted to
unmount /dev/sda1 (fat32 partition where install is launched from) and
to verify changes to partition table (adding /dev/sda5 ext4 as / and
/dev/sda6 as swap). I have extracted the installer options with
debconf-get-selections --installer > seed; debconf-get-selections >>
seed and rerun the installer with this seed file, but am still
prompted about unmounting /dev/sda1 and confirm partition changes. Is
there a way to preseed these choices so installer will run without
user intervention? Is there a list of all preseed commands/options?
I have found some info on a debian d-i wiki and a few howto's but not
a thorough source of preseed option/info.
Thanks for any info that can help with my automation efforts.
Thanks,
