Installing Ubuntu with preseed and no internet access

[Gerhardus Geldenhuis]

Hi Tony,
I have to use that tool I'm afraid, we are not just installing Ubuntu so
having a single tool makes life easier in the long term.

My solution in the end was to add these two lines to my preseed file:
# This line will contact archive.<domain>/ubuntu
d-i apt-setup/security_host string archive/ubuntu

This points to my local repository and prevents the installer from
contacting an internet based archive.

Regards
