Everyone,
Currently I am trying to fully automate an install of Debian and have to 2 issues
early in the install process and a question about aptitude.
The first issue below is with mirror country using ftp protocol. The
section of the preseed file is listed below in which I must press the enter key
for the mirror country to continue on in the installation. Any ideals?
# Debian archive mirror country:
d-i mirror/protocol select ftp
d-i mirror/country select enter
information manually
d-i mirror/ftp/hostname string actualhostname
d-i mirror/ftp/directory string
/debian
d-i mirror/suite string stable
d-i mirror/ftp/proxy string
The second issue is really a two part question, one is how can I do logical
volumes in the preseed file? Also attached is the partition section of the
preseed file in which I must also press the enter key continue the install. The
message that appears is “No file system specified…. Go back to main
menu”. Currently I simple press the enter which selects No.

# This makes partman automatically partition without confirmation.
d-i partman/confirm_write_new_label boolean true
d-i partman/choose_partition select Finish partitioning and write changes to
disk
The last question is in regards to aptitude? Is their anyway to preseed
the package selection?
