Hi all, I experience a strange behaviour of the debian buster installer.
I want to do a preseeded installation of a minimalistic buster system with only one partition (no swap even). What ever I try, if I don't configure: "d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe select multi! in the preseed file tasksel is completely ignored and d-i will install 1370 packages, including the desktop (and libre-office :-)) ... I tried all combinations of partition and tasksel with the same result: d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe select multi --> minimal installation as desired d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe select (atomic|home) --> desktop install d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string (any configuration with and without swap, same config as "multi" from above) --> desktop install Haven't found anything about that yet on the net? Can somebody confirm? My setup is a manual installed minimalistic buster with apache2 serving the preseed file and a second instance trying to do the auto install by: >From the boot menu choose: "Advanced options" --> "Automated install" and than providing the preseed location. see me puzzled, any hint is welcome! tia
