229 ### Package selection
230 #tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard, web-server
231 tasksel tasksel/first multiselect
232 # If the desktop task is selected, install the kde and xfce desktops
233 # instead of the default gnome desktop.

242 # Some versions of the installer can report back on what software you have
243 # installed, and what software you use. The default is not to report back,

247 popularity-contest popularity-contest/participate boolean false
249 ### Boot loader installation
250 # Grub is the default boot loader (for x86). If you want lilo installed
251 # instead, uncomment this:

253 # To also skip installing lilo, and install no bootloader, uncomment this
255 #d-i lilo-installer/skip boolean true
257 # This is fairly safe to set, it makes grub install automatically to the MBR
258 # if no other operating system is detected on the machine.
259 d-i grub-installer/only_debian boolean true
261 # This one makes grub-installer install to the MBR if it also finds some other
262 # OS, which is less safe as it might not be able to boot that other OS.
263 d-i grub-installer/with_other_os boolean false
265 # Alternatively, if you want to install to a location other than the mbr,
266 # uncomment and edit these lines:
267 #d-i grub-installer/only_debian boolean false
268 #d-i grub-installer/with_other_os boolean false
269 #d-i grub-installer/bootdev string (hd0,0)

279 ### Finishing up the installation
280 # During installations from serial console, the regular virtual consoles
281 # (VT1-VT6) are normally disabled in /etc/inittab. Uncomment the next
282 # line to prevent this.
283 #d-i finish-install/keep-consoles boolean true
285 # Avoid that last message about the install being complete.
286 d-i finish-install/reboot_in_progress note
288 # This will prevent the installer from ejecting the CD during the reboot,
289 # which is useful in some situations.
290 #d-i cdrom-detect/eject boolean false
292 # This is how to make the installer shutdown when finished, but not
293 # reboot into the installed system.
294 #d-i debian-installer/exit/halt boolean true
295 # This will power off the machine instead of just halting it.
296 d-i debian-installer/exit/poweroff boolean true
298 ### Preseeding other packages
299 # Depending on what software you choose to install, or if things go wrong
300 # during the installation process, it's possible that other questions may
301 # be asked. You can preseed those too, of course. To get a list of every
302 # possible question that could be asked during an install, do an
303 # installation, and then run these commands:
304 # debconf-get-selections --installer > file
305 # debconf-get-selections >> file
308 #### Advanced options
309 ### Running custom commands during the installation
310 # d-i preseeding is inherently not secure. Nothing in the installer checks
311 # for attempts at buffer overflows or other exploits of the values of a
312 # preconfiguration file like this one. Only use preconfiguration files from
313 # trusted locations! To drive that home, and because it's generally useful,
314 # here's a way to run any shell command you'd like inside the installer,
317 # This first command is run as early as possible, just after
318 # preseeding is read.
319 #d-i preseed/early_command string anna-install some-udeb
321 # This command is run just before the install finishes, but when there is
322 # still a usable /target directory. You can chroot to /target and use it
323 # directly, or use the apt-install and in-target commands to easily install
324 # packages and run commands in the target system.
