preseed d-i



Hi,


I've made an custom live-cd with d-i included. Now I want to do some preseeding and I need some help with it to getting started. I want to disable root password (enable sudo) and add a custom sources.list.

This are the options specified in the preseed.cfg to enable sudo and have a custom sources.list:

### Account setup
# Skip creation of a root account (normal user account will be able to
# use sudo).
d-i passwd/root-login boolean false
# Alternatively, to skip creation of a normal user account.
#d-i passwd/make-user boolean false

# Root password, either in clear text
#d-i passwd/root-password password r00tme
#d-i passwd/root-password-again password r00tme
# or encrypted using an MD5 hash.
#d-i passwd/root-password-crypted password [MD5 hash]

# To create a normal user account.
#d-i passwd/user-fullname string Debian User
#d-i passwd/username string debian
# Normal user's password, either in clear text
#d-i passwd/user-password password insecure
#d-i passwd/user-password-again password insecure
# or encrypted using an MD5 hash.
#d-i passwd/user-password-crypted password [MD5 hash]
# Create the first user with the specified UID instead of the default.
#d-i passwd/user-uid string 1010

# The user account will be added to some standard initial groups. To
# override that, use this.
#d-i passwd/user-default-groups string audio cdrom video

### Apt setup
# You can choose to install non-free and contrib software.
#d-i apt-setup/non-free boolean true
#d-i apt-setup/contrib boolean true
# Uncomment this if you don't want to use a network mirror.
d-i apt-setup/use_mirror boolean false
# Select which update services to use; define the mirrors to be used.
# Values shown below are the normal defaults.
#d-i apt-setup/services-select multiselect security, volatile
#d-i apt-setup/security_host string security.debian.org
#d-i apt-setup/volatile_host string volatile.debian.org

# Additional repositories, local[0-9] available
d-i apt-setup/local0/repository string \
#       http://local.server/debian stable main
 ftp://ftp.debian.us/debian/ testing main contrib non-free

d-i apt-setup/local1/repository string \
 http://www.debian-multimedia.org/ testing main

d-i apt-setup/local2/repository string \
 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free

d-i apt-setup/local3/repository string \
 http://ftp.uni-kl.de/debian-multimedia/ unstable main

d-i apt-setup/local4/repository string \
 http://security.debian.org lenny/updates main contrib non-free


#d-i apt-setup/local0/comment string local server
# Enable deb-src lines
d-i apt-setup/local0/source boolean true


# URL to the public key of the local repository; you must provide a key or
# apt will complain about the unauthenticated repository and so the
# sources.list line will be left commented out
#d-i apt-setup/local0/key string http://local.server/key

# By default the installer requires that repositories be authenticated
# using a known gpg key. This setting can be used to disable that
# authentication. Warning: Insecure, not recommended.
d-i debian-installer/allow_unauthenticated string true




I've this in the binary file in the build environment of the live-cd:

# $LH_DEBIAN_INSTALLER_PRESEEDFILE: set debian-installer preseed filename/url
# (Default: )
LH_DEBIAN_INSTALLER_PRESEEDFILE="/home/d/debianlive/preseed.cfg"


Are these setting right? Comments and advises are welcome!
