At least in the preseed file of the submitter of this bugreport. Ronald: How did you come up with the (wrong) line |bootstrap-base base-installer/kernel/image none ? I'm asking because I assume there might be debian-installer documentation that needs love. Cheers Geert Stappers
I made that line out of cdebconf configration files inside /var/log: snip>>> Name: base-installer/kernel/image Template: base-installer/kernel/image Value: linux-image-2.6-486 Owners: unknown, bootstrap-base Variables: ID = base-installer/kernel/imageKERNELS = linux-image-2.6-486,linux-image-2.6-686,linux-image-2.6.24-1-486,linux-image-2.6.24-1-686
<<<snipHowever, I always found this was rather conflicting because the documentation said that the syntax was like:
<owner> <option> <value> So I thought of this line: bootstrap-base base-installer/kernel/image none The documentation reported it like this (as you said): d-i base-installer/kernel/image noneBut I know examples (one from java if I'm correctly) that if I use d-i as owner, that won't work. Furthermore,
Owners: unknown, bootstrap-base Does *not* list d-i (rather confusing if you ask me).I will try to use d-i as owner instead of bootstrap-base the next time (and remove the quotes from none). Thank you =)
