tack:~/debian/d-i/d-i/packages$ grep -lr cd_type . | less ./apt-setup/generators/50mirror ./apt-setup/generators/41cdset ./apt-setup/debian/changelog ./apt-setup/finish-install.d/10apt-cdrom-setup So yes, it affects apt-setup only. In 50mirror: it would affect the code that decides whether or not to offer a network mirror, and the installer priority setting. Appending extra details on "not_complete" will change things here. In 41cdset: it won't change anything here, we'll still bail out as we're not_complete. In 10apt-cdrom-setup: again, appending to "not_complete" will break the logic there that turns off the CD source for netinst images. I think you need to make some changes in d-i too before I'm happy to take this patch, sorry. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com "When C++ is your hammer, everything looks like a thumb." -- Steven M.
