I just sat down to test if it is easy to run base-config before the machine is booted from HD, in other words running from within debian-installer. It works just fine. I created the following prebaseconfig.d script as 92base-config. It must be numbered before 95umount and after 92prepare-base-config. It must also run after 15cdrom-detect when installing from CD, to be able to mount the CD within /target/.
#!/bin/sh unset DEBIAN_HAS_FRONTEND # Set by debconf unset DEBCONF_REDIR # Set by debconf unset DEBIAN_FRONTEND # Just to be sure unset DEBCONF_FRONTEND # Probably not used any more [pere 2003-01-18] console=/dev/console chroot /target /usr/sbin/termwrap /usr/sbin/base-config < $console > $console Should this be the default behaviour in d-i, or only an option? The current prebaseconfig.d scripts when I install from CD is: 15cdrom-detect 50config-target-network 60reportbug-template 65languagechooser 80save-install-log 85skolelinux-config 90prepare-base-config 95umount 99reboot Is the ordering OK? Should there be more parts? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
