Package: oldsys-preseed
Version: 3.10
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
The attached patch adds support in oldsys-preseed for the Linkstation
Pro/Live platform, similar to Kurobox Pro which is already supported.
This support is necessary for network-console to start without user
interaction, which is important when a serial console is not available.
Comments in the patch describe a caveat regarding preseeding from the
factory default software with a static network configuration.
