While I prefer the way suggested here of using a new option for the preseed file, our current implementation in d-i instead overloads the "filename" option.
I tried to get it working as shown in this bug report, using dhcp3-server. I removed the vendor-class-identifier test for simplicity, so I had: option space debian; option debian.preseed-file code 1 = text; vendor-option-space debian; option debian.preseed-file "http://dragon/~joey/preseed.cfg";; With this I didn't see anything added to the lease file, or any new variables show up in dhclient-script. This might have to do with the version of dhclient we're using in the installer. So, here's how it's currently implemented instead: if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 3) = "d-i" { filename "http://dragon/~joey/preseed.cfg";; } -- see shy jo
