This is often a better approach than generating one with debconf-get-selections, since the example file is more minimal, omitting things like error messages, and also includes some helpful comments. You can clean up the preseed.cfg you generated if you prefer. If you delete the answer to a question that is asked during the install, the install won't be fully noninteractive. Deleting parts of the file shouldn't lead to any other problems. -- see shy jo
