Hi Jerzy, Not an expert - but I do a bunch of installs with the media team when we do releases. The only corner case I can think of is when you install from a .iso image like a DVD / BD. In that instance, you're installing from CD media that is not a netinst - most of the packages will be pulled first from the DVD and updates will be pulled from the network after that, I think. It's one of those things that I always notice after the fact because the cdrom entry is uncommented at the top of /etc/apt/sources.list. It's an odd case - but it might be the sort of thing that you would do where you want to do a relatively complete install but your local network bandwidth is low / intermittent. The interaction of all the cases in preseed is the combinatorial explosion :( All the very best, as ever, Andy Cater
