1. The auto alias doesn't work. auto=true does work. In fact, the
installation guide has contradictory saying on this issue.
http://d-i.debian.org/manual/en.i386/apbs02.html, B.2. Using
preseeding, has examples with only auto, without a value. And
further down that page, it is written that a value is always
required.
2. Even though the dhcp server is supplying a host name, and the
preseeding file has a
d-i netcfg/get_hostname string hostname
set, the installer insists to ask the hostname question.
example-preseed.txt claims that
# Any hostname and domain names assigned from dhcp take
precedence over
# values set here. However, setting the values still
prevents the questions
# from being shown, even if values come from dhcp.
I also have
d-i netcfg/get_domain string domain
set. I did tried to run the installer many times. I am not
sure by what rule it ask the question about the domain, or not.
In contrast to the hostname question, the behaviour is not
consistent.
3. Can a
d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string
be useful for a $lvmignore{ } root and a $defaultignore{ },
$lvmok{ }, other fs? Whatever combinations I tried, none can
make such a recipe to work. For simplicity, can you write an
example for a /boot in a non lvm partition, and all the other
fs on an lvm one?
