I wonder if we could add basic database preseeding support in time for sarge? Here is a very off-the-cuff design. - Use debconf-set-selections/debconf-get-selections file format for the preseeding file. - Add a preseed udebs. Make pressed/url, if it's set, wget the url (which could be a file:/ url). This udeb will need to run after cdrom-detect, iso-scan, and netcfg, so network or removiable media are available, so main-menu menu item #21 or so. I guess this would not be hard to write, and it could be useful, although it doesn't really take advantage of cdebconf as well as it could (by using a different database backend, say). Maybe it's worth doing it in time for sarge.. -- see shy jo
