I'm following the example preseed.cfg given at

It gives no detailed information on correct usage of
d-i pkgsel/include string ...
AND
d-i preseed/late_command string ...

This should be here [1]. Basically you pass the additional packages
you want to install there.

I unsuccessfully attempted to use the first. I suspect the second
may be more appropriate.

Where are these documented?

Does this helps?


No :(
Those only tell me the commands exist.
I need to know what constraints exist for using them.

In another thread ["apt-get BUG" OR "OPERATOR Error"? [🔎] 50BEBE94.3080209@cloud85.net">http://lists.debian.org/[🔎] 50BEBE94.3080209@cloud85.net] I described my problems using apt-get. Andrei Popescu identified the problem how dependencies were resolved [[🔎] 50C1E3F5.6070703@cloud85.net">http://lists.debian.org/[🔎] 50C1E3F5.6070703@cloud85.net] I'm running into apparently the same problem when trying to do it with preseeding. I asked this time in general terms because I have ideas of other things I may wish to preseed so I was looking for a broad answer.
