Mmm, this is from the d-i manual: | Alternatively, one way to get a complete file listing all the values | that can be preseeded is to do a manual install, | and then use debconf-get-selections, from the debconf-utils package, | to dump both the debconf database and the cdebconf database | in /var/log/debian-installer/cdebconf to a single file: | | debconf-get-selections --installer > file | debconf-get-selections >> file | | However, a file generated in this manner will have some items | that should not be preseeded, | and the file in Section C.1, "Preconfiguration File Example" | is a better starting place for most users. And repeating this part: | However, a file generated in this manner will have some items | that should not be preseeded, | and the file in Section C.1, "Preconfiguration File Example" | is a better starting place for most users. > But for me it even would be better if I could > skip network configuration during installation at all.. neither dhcp, nor static.
