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.

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.

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.
