Re: debian-installer-launcher



The below fixed the preseed issue from the boot menu, but not the liceCD installer. I am pretty sure the details from Fernando will be what I need to do, but once again, I will update as soon as I make more progress.

Thanks, all.

I accidentally took the list of a few responses, and Stefan was kind enough to let me know, so here is the last communication I sent him (intending to go to the whole list) with the solution, or at least what appears to be so far:

root@debian:/# find /lib/live -name "preseed.cfg"
/lib/live/mount/medium/install/preseed.cfg

I also verified that the preseed in that location is in fact mine.

I changed the boot from:
.linux /install/vmlinuz file=/install/preseed.cfg

TO

.linux /install/vmlinuz /install/preseed.cfg

This worked!!

Thank you, Stefan. I have been beating my head against the wall and you got me looking down the right path. Thanks to DBA on IRC and Fernando as well!

I think I can update my configs now so they will work. I need to make sure I document some of these finer points so I don't forget. Haha!

Cheers!

Could you please post your complete isolinux.cfg (and any *.cfg files it
may pull in additionally)?
