Hi
I'm trying to create an autoinstall debian, but I'm having trouble
mounting or creating partitions. I started with a standard
installation and after it completed at ran these commands:
debconf-get-selections --installer > preseed.cfg
debconf-get-selections >> preseed.cfg
I copied the file to a floppy and reboot my pc. After the install-cd
started and i wrote the "linux26 preseed/file" and etc, it went
fine until root partition. The installation had trouble mounting
root and one time it asked for a template. But there was not much
info for troubleshooting, so if any had similar problem and can
help... I've trying creating the configurationfile on Sarge and
Etch. Of couse keeping the tw apart when booting on the cd's.
And a second thing regarding the install-configuration file. I
googled around and found some conf-files with manually partition
layout. Do anyone know what all the first numbers covers? And can
explaing the next couple of lines for me.
