The package that does this is save-logs; I think what you want is
save-logs/menu = mounted file system, and then save-logs/directory =
/target/root or something.
 
Yes,  I think that can be in a late_command like "cp /var/log/syslog /target/directory". I would known if there are some "standard `reseed" to do this like "save-log/copy /target/directory"

I don't think this can be done; it's trivial to do in the late_command.

Doesn't look like it.

That's tasksel/first; the actual set of options isn't static, unfortunately.
I don't like installing packages during the install, so I don't know how to
get the full list of tasks.
 
I will try with diferences of "dpkg -l" diferences with a "standard instalation" installed system and a "laptop" installation.

Don't install a display manager.

Thanks, but I would install the x-server and display manager, but I don't want that start at boot.
