Bug#992183: [installation-guide] in example-preseed.txt file is missing a line for apt-setup
Package: installation-guide
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hi,
while playing around with fully automated installations (using a netinst or
DVD-1 image), I found that the example-preseed.txt file (like
https://www.debian.org/releases/bullseye/example-preseed.txt) is lacking a
line for the apt-cdrom-setup:
The question for
-------------------------------------------
Template: apt-setup/cdrom/set-first
Type: boolean
Default: false

_Description: Scan extra installation media?
Scanning your installation media finds the label:
.
${LABEL}
.
You now have the option of scanning additional media for use by the package
manager (apt). Normally these should be from the same set as the one you
booted from. If you do not have any additional media, this step can just be
skipped.
.
If you wish to scan more media, please insert another one now.
------------------------------------------
The only question being asked during such installation was the above, all the
rest worked via preseeding.
A patch for the installation-guide is attached.
