I use a manual mirror, yes
d-i mirror/protocol select ftp
d-i mirror/country string enter information manually
d-i mirror/ftp/hostname string dris-smpsrv.onera
d-i mirror/ftp/directory string /debian
d-i mirror/http/hostname string dris-smpsrv.onera
d-i mirror/http/directory string /debian
d-i mirror/http/proxy string http://proxy.onera:80/
base-config apt-setup/uri_type select ftp
base-config apt-setup/country select enter information manually
base-config apt-setup/hostname string dris-smpsrv.onera
base-config apt-setup/directory string /debian
base-config apt-setup/another boolean false
#base-config apt-setup/non-free boolean true
#base-config apt-setup/contrib boolean true
base-config apt-setup/security-updates boolean false
BTW, you forgot the attachments.
I just sent them.
The general problem here is that I use the exact same preseed files
(see the attachments I finally sent to the BTS) all over my localized
automated installs...and it only fails for Welsh.
One may notice that Welsh has a 2nd stage which does not look very
well : no borders around dialog boxes for instance...which, in the
past, indicated some nasty problems with either framebuffer or
jfbterm. Welsh defaults to a UTF-8 locale but has no special handling
in termwrap. I suspect these problems may be linked in some way.
