I have this isolinux.cfg file but my installation is not reading the
preseed.cfg file from my custom cd image.
I built it using this method
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization
# cat /opt/image/isolinux/isolinux.cfg
serial 0
console 0
prompt 1
default install
label install
menu label ^Install Ubuntu Server
kernel /install/vmlinuz
append preseed/file=/cdrom/preseed.cfg initrd=/install/initrd.gz --
console=ttyS0,9600n8
# cat /opt/image/preseed.cfg file looks like this
d-i debian-installer/locale string en_US
d-i console-keymaps-at/keymap select us
d-i netcfg/disable_dhcp boolean true
d-i netcfg/get_nameservers string 192.168.3.65
d-i netcfg/get_ipaddress string 192.168.0.28
d-i netcfg/get_netmask string 255.255.255.0
d-i netcfg/get_gateway string 192.168.0.1
d-i netcfg/confirm_static boolean true
d-i mirror/http/proxy string
d-i netcfg/choose_interface select eth0
d-i netcfg/wireless_wep string
d-i netcfg/get_hostname string host.example.net
d-i netcfg/get_domain string example.net
d-i netcfg/wireless_wep string
d-i anna/choose_modules string network-console
d-i network-console/password password secret
d-i network-console/password-again password secret
But my installation still asked me about all these.
I am trying to install ubuntu lucid 64bit server
content of the cd image
/opt/images# ls
README.diskdefines dists isolinux pics preseed ubuntu
cdromupgrade doc install md5sum.txt pool preseed.cfg
Thanks for the help.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
