I don't remember exactly but I think I had to give the network settings twice, on the install line and on the preseed file. > I'm trying to preseed with name / domain name from the bootline as they get > set wrong by default, and because i am url/preseed the IP static settings i > want to use get ignored, not even set on reboot.
