I am trying to build a preseed file from my minimum initial install of wheezy beta 1. I have executed: TARGET="/inventory" debconf-get-selections --installer > $TARGET/list_packages_installer debconf-get-selections > $TARGET/list_packages
list_packages_installer is about 1200 lines. lineslist_packages is 345 lines. Both have timezone and local information among other similarities. I thought the _installer listing was to provide info on configuration and the other was to provide info on installed packages. I did not see anything about packages. It didn't seem that there was any logical sequence of the lines; locale and timezone info was spread from the beginning to the end. On the initial installation, there are 2 SSDs and 1 CDROM. Each 60G SSD had 6 labeled partitions. They are all observable from the console. In the two listings, there is only one line that address drive size: partman-partitioning partman-partitioning/new_partition_size string 6.0 GB I did not see anything that suggested which drive or partition this was. I used the preseed example file (http://www.debian.org/releases/squeeze/example-preseed.txt which is for squeeze) to help understand the content but it is still a challenge. While I have read that the debconf output should not be as a preseed, it looks functional. It just doesn't seem to have everything. I have copied all of /etc as it may be useful to recovery my current installation after trying the preseed but I haven't figured out how or what the limitations are. ray -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
