It only looks machine-specific. All computers can use the same netcfg/get_name (and netcfg/get_domain) as it will be overwritten by the information from the DHCP server. pronounce 'netcfg/get_hostname=x' as "seen an answer for the hostname question, no need to ask" > An alternative is to set the debconf priority to critical, but this isn't a > good idea as typo's in preseed config files are silently ignored. > > A better solution (IMO) would be to have a > netcfg/auto_accept_dhcp boolean true > > ... but this would require coding. After discovering limits that are documented in #276726 and #276840 I got an almost automatic install with d-i, the only manual action were entering root password[1] and quiting aptitude[2] > Paul.
