RE: preseed netinstall vlan network



Yes, that's absolutely correct.  Thank you for clarifying that.  That's too bad if there isn't any way to vlan tag the nic during netinstall mini.iso.  Instead I'll have to create a full blown custom.iso that would be much bigger and install locally, and then post_install to configure the vlan tagging.

Hm, maybe he’s trying to say, that the linux host will get the tagged
network packets because it is in several VLANs?

But I don’t think the installer has the option to configure network
interfaces with VLAN tagging.

Shade and sweet water!
