Already tried, putting the preconfiguration file in the toplevel
directory of the USB stick.
An error is generated (red screen) remarking that preseeding file
download failed (debian installer searches the file in
file:///hd-media/preseed.cfg); this error is generated after I answered
to questions on language, state and keyboard layout, after hardware
detection and cd scan.
The same error message is generated when I do
preseed/file=/hd-media/preseed.cfg as well as when I do
file=/hd-media/preseed.cfg
In either case there is a button to select (continue) if I want to
continue the installation in non-automatic mode.
Best regards
Franco
