Hi I'm trying to create an autoinstall debian, but I'm having trouble mounting or creating partitions. I started with a standard installation and after it completed at ran these commands: debconf-get-selections --installer > preseed.cfg debconf-get-selections >> preseed.cfg
I copied the file to a floppy and reboot my pc. After the install-cd started and i wrote the "linux26 preseed/file" and etc, it went fine until root partition. The installation had trouble mounting root and one time it asked for a template. But there was not much info for troubleshooting, so if any had similar problem and can help... I've trying creating the configurationfile on Sarge and Etch. Of couse keeping the tw apart when booting on the cd's. And a second thing regarding the install-configuration file. I googled around and found some conf-files with manually partition layout. Do anyone know what all the first numbers covers? And can explaing the next couple of lines for me. -------------------------------------------------------------- # Note, the record below should be in one line and "\" removed d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string root-var-tmp-usr-home :: \ 256 10 320 ext3 $primary{ } $bootable{ } method{ format } format{ } use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } mountpoint{ / } . \ 256 10 200% linux-swap method{ swap } format{ } . \ 1024 9 1200 ext3 method{ format } format{ } use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } mountpoint{ /var } . \ 512 4 768 ext3 method{ format } format{ } use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } mountpoint{ /tmp } . \ 2048 5 2304 ext3 method{ format } format{ } use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } mountpoint{ /usr } . \ 100 10000 1000000000 ext3 method{ format } format{ } use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } mountpoint{ /home } . ----------------------------------------------------------- Best Regards /Lars -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
