I don't think I'm a debconf expert either; I looked at the code to copy env vars from the kernel cmdline into debconf and did something close in o-p. The main differences seem to be: - preseed files have to specify owner and type, while db_set works without owner (but if the value is missing, the new o-p registers it with a dummy owner) - you don't need to set questions as seen with preseed files, but you do with debconf values; that is, a preseed line sets the value of the question but also marks it as seen; I used db_fset on top of db_set to achieve the same thing as debconf-set-selections I've pushed the patches now -- Loïc Minier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
