Bug#845401: debian-installer: auto=true not working
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256
When both the file (url) and interfce is defined at the same time, d-i
initializes the network and gets the file, then it tries to make a
full-automatic installation without asking any questions. IIRC, that's
called d-i early-network-init preseeding. I was unable to find the
documentation at the moment, but I regularly use this method to automate
installs.
Regards,
Hakan
