Package: iso-scan Followup-For: Bug #701772 I am experiencing the same problem here, trying to prepare a USB stick with many installer images (i386, amd64, stable, testing..).
Looking at iso-scan code I can see a few problems here: 1. Even if more than one ISO is found, the first pass will choose by default one image instead of asking, because of medium debconf priority. I think this is a problem, as I cannot raise that question priority without raising all other questions. 2. When choosing an ISO without asking the user, it is not taking into account the release of the ISO file. If it at least preferred the matching ISO, this wouldn't be a problem. 3. iso-scan does not accept any input on the location of the ISO file. Having this functionality (for example, by checking the iso-scan/filename variable before starting), it would save time and avoid all these problems. For now, the only workaround I've found is to put all ISO images outside of the first pass' reach (i.e. in 2rd level directories), and then preseed iso-scan/ask_second_pass=true but this is far from optimal. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (50, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.12-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_IE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
