I'm migrating a live-build-based ISO installer project from bookworm to trixie. I don't want *any* network configuration during the installer stage: everything is baked into the ISO.
But no matter what I do, I'm getting the "[!!] Configure a network using static addressing" dialog. The logs say, "Menu item 'netcfg-static' selected".
d-i netcfg/enable boolean false
d-i netcfg/choose_interface select auto (and "none")
d-i netcfg/disable_autoconfig boolean true (and "false")
The only thing I've been able to do to get it to not do this static addressing thing is something like this:
d-i netcfg/enable boolean false
d-i netcfg/choose_interface select auto
d-i netcfg/disable_autoconfig boolean true
d-i netcfg/get_hostname string unassigned-hostname
d-i netcfg/get_domain string unassigned-domain
d-i netcfg/get_ipaddress string 192.168.17.76
d-i netcfg/get_netmask string 255.255.255.0
d-i netcfg/get_gateway string 192.168.17.1
d-i netcfg/get_nameservers string 192.168.17.1
d-i netcfg/confirm_static boolean true
But then that gets written to /etc/network/interfaces, which I don't want.
I guess I could remove it in late-preseed, but that's messy and I'd rather not avoid it.
I tried looking back through the commit history and found this PR:
which seems sort of in the same ballpark, but not exactly as it seems more related to DNS and/or gateway settings.
How can I get the installer to just NOT configure networking?
