I am having a problem with preseed and proxys. I have a local 'approx'
apt server and I point my /preseed/mypreseed.seed info to this server
then remaster a ubuntu-7.06-alternate-i386.iso CD. Here are some of
the settings:
d-i mirror/country string enter information manually
d-i mirror/http/hostname string gonzo.ci.com.au:9999
d-i mirror/http/directory string /ubuntu
d-i mirror/suite string dapper
d-i mirror/http/proxy string
I also point the security stuff to my server as well.
d-i apt-setup/security_host string gonzo.ci.com.au:9999
All seems to install fine till it gets to the security checks. I get a
red screen that advises it Cannot access security updates. Pressing OK
will allow the install to continue. When complete and a reboot done
I can log in and when I check /etc/apt/apt.conf I see the line:
Acquire::http::Proxy "true";
I dont want a Proxy server, so why was this set. When I remove this Proxy
line from /etc/apt/apt.conf all seems to work fine.
So my question is:
On my remastered CD how can I override this setting in the preseed file.
