I thought that to make the preseed work would require building an iso
with a different initrd but that is not the case per the link you
provided, one can preseed by putting a file somewhere where it can be
fetched with a url.
What I was looking for is a simple way to avoid the randomising step
for my use case, which is an install just for me (not installing in a
bunch of machines, for example, in which case preseeding would be very
helpful to automate install). So I know now the easy way that takes a
tenth of a second which is to click on the Cancel button! :-)
