Re: Is there a full list of debian installer (d-i) questions that can be used in a preseed file?

I'm currently working on hands-off installations, with both Redhat,
Debian and Ubuntu. Redhat's kickstart is well documented, with a
complete list of each possible option, any parameters and the possible
values (or where to find a list of them - eg. keyboard mappings):
https://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5.2/html/Installation_Guide/s1-kickstart2-options.html
I'm trying to find the equivalent for Debian Installer's preseeding
questions (and Ubuntu too if possible). However the best I've found is
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/apbs04.html.en
This is a good howto, and enough for me to get a basic, working, preseed
file but I'd like a full reference to all the questions/options like
with kickstart above?
AFAIK, any debconf options can be set in the preseed file.
If you install the debconf-utils package, and then run:
# debconf-get-selections --installer
you'll get a list of what I believe to be everything for the installer
(WARNING: It's long)
If you run
# debconf-get selections
on its own, you'll get settings for all of the packages on the system.
Also very long.
From there you can copy-paste the settings you want into your preseed
file (I wouldn't use the whole thing).
Cheers,
Eric
