Not really. I followed these steps (there are multiple ways to preseed, but this is the easiest from what I've seen): 1. Download a copy of https://www.debian.org/releases/bookworm/example-preseed.txt 2. Go through it and set all the options correctly. If you don't know what something does, check the preseeding docs. 3. Put this on a webpage that can be accessed by the machine getting Debian installed (i.e. put it in a pastebin or git repo)[1] 4. Choose "automated install" from the installer grub menu. When it asks you for the preseed file URL, you can provide the link to the raw preseed file. -- Maytham [1] You can also put it on the installer drive or another USB and reference it with a file:/// URI.
