Preseeding and partman-auto-recipe.txt



I'm looking for a more complete list of preseedable questions/answers than given by the example preseed.cfg files found on various sites. Methods revolving around debconf-get-selections aren't satisfactory as I'm not interested in duplicating and existing system. I'm doing a number of installs until I find one I like. I'm also trying to chase down some possible bugs [they actually may be typo's]. I'm planning on using preseed.cfg files for a record of trials.

Also I'm looking to be able to chose how the disk is partitioned.

http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/install
In Section B.4.7 says
"The examples below only provide basic information on the use of recipes. For detailed information see the files partman-auto-recipe.txt and partman-auto-raid-recipe.txt included in the debian-installer package. Both files are also available from the debian-installer source repository." But it doesn't give a link.

I'll be having multiple Linuxes present. Is there a way to tell the installer to use an existing SWAP partition?

TIA
