Is preseed.cfg flexible enough?
I have a laptop whose *SOLE* purpose is to have multiple installs
of Debian for demonstration of different ways Debian may be
configured. While I work out kinks I am using Mate as my D.E.
I find some Debian defaults annoying. Setting them to reasonable
values on a running system is straight forward but becomes
annoying every time an installation is done.
Problem 1. Defeat automounting of usb flash drives
This can be handled by
gsettings set org.mate.media-handling automount false
on a running system if Mate is installed.
Problem 2. Default font size is too small.
In Mate that can be remedied *on a PER USER* basis by menu
option
System>-Preferences->Appearance->Fonts
The default there is "10". I also have note that "10"
appears as a default size
elsewhere implying that it is system wide. Can I force
everything to use "14"?
Problem 3. File-managers default to pretty Icons rather than
informative List view.
Can preseed.cfg handle those and similar in an D.E. agnostic manner?
The possibility is hinted near the end of
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/apbs05.html.en#preseed-chainload
.
TIA
