Bug#698626: Preseeding netcfg/enable doesn't work
Package: netcfg
Version: 1.103
I preseed the installer with "d-i netcfg/enable boolean false".
netcfg 1.103 ignores it at two places and writes the file
/etc/network/interfaces.
The second write in finish-install.d/55netcfg-copy-config overwrites my
own interface config.
I fixed it with the attached patch. Preseeding netcfg/enable worked with
squeeze.
Regards
Stefan
