-#### Startup.
-
-# To use a preseed file, you'll first need to boot the installer,
-# and tell it what preseed file to use. This is done by passing the
-# kernel a boot parameter, either manually at boot or by editing the
-# syslinux.cfg (or similar) file and adding the parameter to the end
-# of the append line(s) for the kernel.
-#
-# If you're netbooting, use this:
-# preseed/url=http://host/path/to/preseed
-# If you're remastering a CD, you could use this:
-# preseed/file=/cdrom/preseed
-# If you're installing from USB media, use this, and put the preseed file
-# in the toplevel directory of the USB stick.
-# preseed/file=/hd-media/preseed
-#
-# If you feel comfortable modifying the installer's initrd image,
-# you can also place a preseed file in the root directory of the initrd's
-# filesystem, named "preseed.cfg" -- the installer will always use this
-# file if it is present. Otherwise, be sure to copy this file to the location
-# you specify.
-#
-# To make sure the installer gets the right preseed file, you can specify
-# a checksum for the file. Currently this needs to be a md5sum, and if
-# specified it must match the file or the installer will refuse to use the
-# file.
-# preseed/url/checksum=5da499872becccfeda2c4872f9171c3d
-# preseed/file/checksum=5da499872becccfeda2c4872f9171c3d
-#
-# Some parts of the installation process cannot be automated using
-# some forms of preseeding, because the questions are asked before
-# the preseed file is loaded. For example, if the preseed file is
-# downloaded over the network, the network setup must be done first.
-# One reason to use initrd preseeding is that it allows preseeding
-# of even these early steps of the installation process.
-#
-# If a preseed file cannot be used to preseed some steps, the install can
-# still be fully automated, since you can pass preseed values to the kernel
-# on the command line. Just pass path/to/var=value for any of the preseed
-# variables listed below.
-#
-# While you're at it, you may want to throw a debconf/priority=critical in
-# there, to avoid most questions even if the preseeding below misses some.
-# And you might set the timeout to 1 in syslinux.cfg to avoid needing to hit
-# enter to boot the installer.
-#
-# Note that the 2.4 kernel accepts a maximum of 8 command line options and
-# 8 environment options (including any options added by default for the
-# installer). If these numbers are exceeded, 2.4 kernels will drop any
-# excess options and 2.6 kernels will panic. With kernel 2.6.9 or newer,
-# you can use 32 command line options and 32 environment options.
-#
-# Some of the default options, like 'vga=normal' may be safely removed
-# for most installations, which may allow you to add more options for
-# preseeding.
-
-# To select your language and country, use this setting, but remember
-# that this will only work for initrd based preseeding, for other forms of
-# preseeding you must convert it into a kernel parameter,
-# such as debian-installer/locale=en_US
-d-i debian-installer/locale string en_US
-
-# To select your keyboard, use this setting. Again it will need to be
-# passed as a kernel parameter for most preseed setups.
-d-i console-keymaps-at/keymap select us
-
-#### Network configuration.
-
-# Of course, this won't work if you're loading your preseed file from the
-# network! But it's great if you're booting from CD or USB stick. You can
-# also pass network config parameters in on the kernel params if you are
-# loading preseed files from the network.
-
-# netcfg will choose an interface that has link if possible. This makes it
-# skip displaying a list if there is more than one interface.
-d-i netcfg/choose_interface select auto
-
-# If you have a slow dhcp server and the installer times out waiting for
-# it, this might be useful.
-#d-i netcfg/dhcp_timeout string 60
-
-# If you prefer to configure the network manually, here's how:
-#d-i netcfg/disable_dhcp boolean true
-#d-i netcfg/get_nameservers string 192.168.1.1
-#d-i netcfg/get_ipaddress string 192.168.1.42
-#d-i netcfg/get_netmask string 255.255.255.0
-#d-i netcfg/get_gateway string 192.168.1.1
-#d-i netcfg/confirm_static boolean true
-
-# Note that any hostname and domain names assigned from dhcp take
-# precedence over values set here. However, setting the values still
-# prevents the questions from being shown even if values come from dhcp.
-d-i netcfg/get_hostname string unassigned-hostname
-d-i netcfg/get_domain string unassigned-domain
-
-# Disable that annoying WEP key dialog.
-d-i netcfg/wireless_wep string
-# The wacky dhcp hostname that some ISPs use as a password of sorts.
-#d-i netcfg/dhcp_hostname string radish
-
-#### Mirror settings.
-
-d-i mirror/country string enter information manually
-d-i mirror/http/hostname string http.us.debian.org
-d-i mirror/http/directory string /debian
-d-i mirror/http/proxy string
-
-# What suite of Debian to install.
-#d-i mirror/suite string testing
-# What suite of Debian to use for loading installer components.
-# (Defaults to same as mirror/suite.)
-#d-i mirror/udeb/suite string testing
-
-#### Partitioning.
-
-# If the system has free space you can choose to only partition that space.
-#d-i partman-auto/init_automatically_partition \
-# select Use the largest continuous free space
-
-# Alternatively, you can specify a disk to partition. The device name can
-# be given in either devfs or traditional non-devfs format.
-# For example, to use the first disk devfs knows of:
-d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/discs/disc0/disc
-
-# You can choose from any of the predefined partitioning recipes:
-d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe \
- select All files in one partition (recommended for new users)
-#d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe \
-# select Separate /home partition
-#d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe \
-# select Separate /home, /usr, /var, and /tmp partitions
-
-# Or provide a recipe of your own...
-# The recipe format is documented in the file devel/partman-auto-recipe.txt.
-# If you have a way to get a recipe file into the d-i environment, you can
-# just point at it.
-#d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe_file string /hd-media/recipe
-
-# If not, you can put an entire recipe the preseed file in one (logical)
-# line. This example creates a small /boot partition, suitable swap, and
-# uses the rest of the space for the root partition:
-#d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string \
-# boot-root :: \
-# 40 50 100 ext3 \
-# $primary{ } $bootable{ } \
-# method{ format } format{ } \
-# use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } \
-# mountpoint{ /boot } \
-# . \
-# 500 10000 1000000000 ext3 \
-# method{ format } format{ } \
-# use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } \
-# mountpoint{ / } \
-# . \
-# 64 512 300% linux-swap \
-# method{ swap } format{ } \
-# .
-
-# This makes partman automatically partition without confirmation.
-d-i partman/confirm_write_new_label boolean true
-d-i partman/choose_partition \
- select Finish partitioning and write changes to disk
-d-i partman/confirm boolean true
-
-#### Boot loader installation.
-
-# Grub is the default boot loader (for x86). If you want lilo installed
-# instead, uncomment this:
-#d-i grub-installer/skip boolean true
-
-# This is fairly safe to set, it makes grub install automatically to the MBR
-# if no other operating system is detected on the machine.
-d-i grub-installer/only_debian boolean true
-
-# This one makes grub-installer install to the MBR if if finds some other OS
-# too, which is less safe as it might not be able to boot that other OS.
-d-i grub-installer/with_other_os boolean true
-
-# Alternatively, if you want to install to a location other than the mbr,
-# uncomment and edit these lines:
-#d-i grub-installer/bootdev string (hd0,0)
-#d-i grub-installer/only_debian boolean false
-#d-i grub-installer/with_other_os boolean false
-
-#### Finishing up the first stage install.
-
-# Avoid that last message about the install being complete.
-d-i prebaseconfig/reboot_in_progress note
-
-# This will prevent the installer from ejecting the CD during the reboot,
-# which is useful in some situations.
-#d-i cdrom-detect/eject boolean false
-
-#### Shell commands.
-
-# d-i preseeding is inherently not secure. Nothing in the installer checks
-# for attempts at buffer overflows or other exploits of the values of a
-# preseed file like this one. Only use preseed files from trusted
-# locations! To drive that home, and because it's generally useful, here's
-# a way to run any shell command you'd like inside the installer,
-# automatically.
-
-# This first command is run as early as possible, just after
-# preseeding is read.
-#d-i preseed/early_command string anna-install some-udeb
-
-# This command is run just before the install finishes, but when there is
-# still a usable /target directory.
-#d-i preseed/late_command string echo foo > /target/etc/bar
-
-# This command is run just as base-config is starting up.
-#base-config base-config/early_command string echo hi mom
-
-# This command is run after base-config is done, just before the login:
-# prompt. This is a good way to install a set of packages you want, or to
-# tweak the configuration of the system.
-#base-config base-config/late_command \
-# string apt-get install zsh; chsh -s /bin/zsh
-
-###### Preseeding the 2nd stage of the installation.
-
-#### Preseeding base-config.
-
-# Avoid the introductory message.
-base-config base-config/intro note
-
-# Avoid the final message.
-base-config base-config/login note
-
-# If you installed a display manager, but don't want to start it immediately
-# after base-config finishes.
-#base-config base-config/start-display-manager boolean false
-
-# Some versions of the installer can report back on what you've installed.
-# The default is not to report back, but sending reports helps the project
-# determine what software is most popular and include it on CDs.
-#popularity-contest popularity-contest/participate boolean false
-
-#### Clock and time zone setup.
-
-# Controls whether or not the hardware clock is set to UTC.
-d-i clock-setup/utc boolean true
-
-# You may set this to any valid setting for $TZ; see the contents of
-# /usr/share/zoneinfo/ for options.
-d-i time/zone string US/Eastern
-
-#### Account setup.
-
-# To preseed the root password, you have to put it in the clear in this
-# file. That is not a very good idea, use caution!
-#passwd passwd/root-password password r00tme
-#passwd passwd/root-password-again password r00tme
-
-# If you want to skip creation of a normal user account.
-#passwd passwd/make-user boolean false
-
-# Alternatively, you can preseed the user's name and login.
-#passwd passwd/user-fullname string Debian User
-#passwd passwd/username string debian
-# And their password, but use caution!
-#passwd passwd/user-password password insecure
-#passwd passwd/user-password-again password insecure
-
-#### Apt setup.
-
-# This question controls what source the second stage installation uses
-# for packages. Choices are cdrom, http, ftp, filesystem, edit sources list
-# by hand
-base-config apt-setup/uri_type select http
-
-# If you choose ftp or http, you'll be asked for a country and a mirror.
-base-config apt-setup/country select enter information manually
-base-config apt-setup/hostname string http.us.debian.org
-base-config apt-setup/directory string /debian
-# Stop after choosing one mirror.
-base-config apt-setup/another boolean false
-
-# You can choose to install non-free and contrib software.
-#base-config apt-setup/non-free boolean true
-#base-config apt-setup/contrib boolean true
-
-# Do enable security updates.
-base-config apt-setup/security-updates boolean true
-
-#### Package selection.
-
-# You can choose to install any combination of tasks that are available.
-# Available tasks as of this writing include: Desktop environment,
-# Web server, Print server, DNS server, File server, Mail server,
-# SQL database, Laptop, Standard system, manual package selection. The
-# last of those will run aptitude. You can also choose to install no
-# tasks, and force the installation of a set of packages in some other
-# way. We recommend always including the Standard system task.
-tasksel tasksel/first multiselect Desktop environment, Standard system
-#tasksel tasksel/first multiselect Web server, Standard system
-
-#### Mailer configuration.
-
-# During a normal install, exim asks only a few questions. Here's how to
-# avoid even those. More complicated preseeding is possible.
-exim4-config exim4/dc_eximconfig_configtype \
- select no configuration at this time
-exim4-config exim4/no_config boolean true
-exim4-config exim4/no_config boolean true
-
-# It's a good idea to set this to whatever user account you choose to
-# create. Leaving the value blank results in postmaster mail going to
-# /var/mail/mail.
-exim4-config exim4/dc_postmaster string
-
-#### X Configuration.
-
-# Preseeding Debian's X config is possible, but you probably need to know
-# some details about the video hardware of the machine, since Debian's X
-# configurator does not do fully automatic configuration of everything.
-
-# X can detect the right driver for some cards, but if you're preseeding,
-# you override whatever it chooses. Still, vesa will work most places.
-#xserver-xfree86 xserver-xfree86/config/device/driver select vesa
-
-# A caveat with mouse autodetection is that if it fails, X will retry it
-# over and over. So if it's preseeded to be done, there is a possibility of
-# an infinite loop if the mouse is not autodetected.
-#xserver-xfree86 xserver-xfree86/autodetect_mouse boolean true
-
-# Monitor autodetection is recommended.
-xserver-xfree86 xserver-xfree86/autodetect_monitor boolean true
-# Uncomment if you have an LCD display.
-#xserver-xfree86 xserver-xfree86/config/monitor/lcd boolean true
-# X has three configuration paths for the monitor. Here's how to preseed
-# the "medium" path, which is always available. The "simple" path may not
-# be available, and the "advanced" path asks too many questions.
-xserver-xfree86 xserver-xfree86/config/monitor/selection-method \
- select medium
-xserver-xfree86 xserver-xfree86/config/monitor/mode-list \
- select 1024x768 @ 60 Hz
-
-#### Everything else.
-
-# Depending on what software you choose to install, or if things go wrong
-# during the installation process, it's possible that other questions may
-# be asked. You can preseed those too, of course. To get a list of every
-# possible question that could be asked during an install, do an
-# installation, and then run these commands:
-# debconf-get-selections --installer > file
-# debconf-get-selections >> file
-
-# If you like, you can include other preseed files into this one.
-# Any settings in those files will override pre-existing settings from this
-# file. More that one file can be listed, separated by spaces; all will be
-# loaded. The included files can have preseed/include directives of their
-# own as well. Note that if the filenames are relative, they are taken from
-# the same directory as the preseed file that includes them.
-#d-i preseed/include string x.cfg
-
-# The installer can optionally verify checksums of preseed files before
-# using them. Currently only md5sums are supported, list the md5sums
-# in the same order as the list of files to include.
-#d-i preseed/include/checksum string 5da499872becccfeda2c4872f9171c3d
-
-# More flexibly, this runs a shell command and if it outputs the names of
-# preseed files, includes those files.
-#d-i preseed/include_command \
-# string echo if [ "`hostname`" = bob ]; then echo bob.cfg; fi
-
-# To check the format of your preseed file before performing an install,
-# you can use debconf-set-selections:
-# debconf-set-selections -c preseed.cfg
