Re: "kickstart" for debian needed
Hello,
you need only the Base-Installation then install all programms needed
and after ths make a
dpkg --get-selections >myselection.txt
Now you can install on other machines the Base-Installation and at the
end quiet it withot any selections. Login as root and make
newmachine:# dpkg --set-selections myselection.txt
now use dselect to install it.
