Package: debian-installer Severity: normal It does not seem to be possible to pre-seed the disk-partitioning info to achieve a hands-free install. I am using the the latest (10/18) ISO images from http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/daily/i386/current/. I have tested both the netboot and businesscard images. My preseed file is available from http://people.debian.org/~pxt/deb_preseed The relevant parts of that file are as follows:
d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/sda d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe select All files in one partition (recommended for new users) d-i partman/choose_partition select Finish partitioning and write changes to disk d-i partman/confirm boolean true This appears to be consistant with the examples given in all the documentation I can find, as well as the examples linked on the wiki. My boot command line is: linux preseed/url=http://<myurl> debconf/priority=critical languagechooser/language-name=English countrychooser/shortlist=US console-keymaps-at/keymap=us In each case the installer prompts me to choose how to partition the disk. The screenshot can be seen here: http://people.debian.org/~pxt/preseed.png Once I select the first choice, the installation continues unattended. I know my preseed file is being read as other choices (such as my local mirror) are being honored. The documentation, wiki, and discussions on debian-boot indicate that preseeding this information should be possible -- if my syntax is wrong, then please consider this a bug report for the documentation, otherwise it appears to be a bug in the installer.
