Configuring the base system...
Debian base system configuration
--------------------------------

This is the base system configuration menu.

  1. Preconfigure language-related parameters
  2. Configure timezone
  3. Set up users and passwords
  4. Set the hostname
  5. Configure apt
  6. Select and install packages
  7. Postconfigure language-related parameters
  8. Finish configuring the base system
  9. Execute a shell

Choose the next step in the install process: 1

base-config new is only for new installs and so it will load the debconf
priority from the first stage installer, whatever it happened to be.
