I think you can answer those real quick. 1) debconf debconf/frontend select Dialog Can I set it to something like "Noninteractive"? Otherwise the installer complains about it, because I'm doing unattended installations 2) After the base installation, the /etc/apt/source.list is set to stable, but I'm installing sarge. As a result I'm getting conflicts with the newer packages from the base installation. those are my current settings d-i mirror/http/directory string /debian/ d-i mirror/http/countries select US d-i mirror/http/proxy string d-i mirror/http/hostname string ftp.egr.msu.edu d-i mirror/http/mirror select ftp.egr.msu.edu d-i mirror/ftp/directory string /debian/ d-i mirror/ftp/countries select US d-i mirror/ftp/proxy string d-i mirror/ftp/hostname string ftp.egr.msu.edu d-i mirror/ftp/mirror select ftp.egr.msu.edu d-i mirror/suite select testing d-i mirror/protocol select ftp d-i mirror/country string US base-config apt-setup/uri_type select ftp base-config apt-setup/country select enter information manually base-config apt-setup/hostname string ftp.egr.msu.edu base-config apt-setup/directory string /debian base-config apt-setup/another boolean false base-config apt-setup/non-free boolean false base-config apt-setup/contrib boolean true base-config apt-setup/security-updates boolean true There is probably a base-config option where I can select the suite.
