Re: Using preseed.cfg with installer?

[Reid Rivenburgh <rivenburgh@gmail.com>]

Yes, I suppose that would have helped, but I wasn't aware of it.  I'm not actually sure what that even is!  In any case, I was mainly working from the live build documentation.  (In theory, that should be all you need, but I am a software developer so I know how that goes.)  I did get started from a few random tutorial blog posts that I had found.

Thanks,

Reid

There is an example config here: https://github.com/LinuxCNC/buster-live-build
With working preseed:
https://github.com/LinuxCNC/buster-live-build/blob/master/config/includes.installer/preseed.cfg

Perhaps that can answer some questions?
