Hi Samuel

Thanks for your work on Debian!!!

Thanks for providing a link this time. You wrote that "the easiest
way is to ..." but the link you provided really does not encourage
newbies to use that method:
"""
a file generated in this manner will have some items that should
not be preseeded, and the example file is a better starting place
for most users.
"""
So it's interesting that you encourage us in that direction, thanks.
Now I can choose between "easiest" and "better" :)
