Package: partman-basicfilesystems Version: 75 Severity: normal User: eve...@debian.org Usertags: events-hardware
Hi there! For the RMLL 2012[1] I set up BabelBox[2] on the Debian Events Box[3] (installer build 20120508): Besides some minor changes WRT the packages to be installed (see [4]), the preseed.cfg from the squeeze BabelBox[5] was working OK. [1] <http://www.debian.org/events/2012/0707-rmll> [2] <http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/BabelBox> [3] <http://bugs.debian.org/680318> [4] <http://lists.debian.org/87vcdj8y3j....@gismo.pca.it> [5] <http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=d-i/babelbox.git;a=blob;f=preseed.cfg;h=f194524681667e8474c5b02610640e669d56cbae;hb=2879ec58c241829072c18308fb1b9603d1694f98> Before going on, the default BabelBox partitioning is the following: * /dev/sda1 83 Linux /dev/sda2 82 Linux swap / Solaris The host system, which contains the d-i hd-media images as well as the CD-1 or DVD-1 ISO images. * /dev/sda3 5 Extended /dev/sda5 * 83 Linux /dev/sda6 82 Linux swap / Solaris The demo system, with partition 3 deleted by 00del_partition[6] at the beginning of the preseed and then everything is set up by: d-i partman-auto/init_automatically_partition select biggest_free d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe select atomic d-i partman/choose_partition select finish d-i partman/confirm boolean true d-i partman/confirm_nooverwrite boolean true * /dev/sda4 83 Linux Unused space just to fill up the hard disk, so that formatting for the demo system will not take unnecessary long.
