-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 When both the file (url) and interfce is defined at the same time, d-i initializes the network and gets the file, then it tries to make a full-automatic installation without asking any questions. IIRC, that's called d-i early-network-init preseeding. I was unable to find the documentation at the moment, but I regularly use this method to automate installs.
