"No installed packages" != "bare CLI" (you can also *remove* packages during the install using "d-i preseed/late_command string") Perhaps you mean " Try the following in preseed.cfg:- d-i tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard NOTE: run:- debconf-get-selections --installer | less to see all the available options see also:- http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/apbs04.html.en *Or*, append to the boot:- tasks standard NOTE: alias=tasks debconf tag=tasksel:tasksel/first see /etc/preseed.aliases in the initrd of the debian installer > > 2.

You don't say what you are appending to the boot and where you put preseed.cfg/s > > I use "d-i netcfg/choose_interface select auto" for network settings. Try:- ;preseed.cfg d-i netcfg/choose_interface select eth0 *Or* ;append interface eth0 Are you using dhcp or static? Wireless or wired? e.g. for static:- ;append:- nameservers string 8.8.8.8 8.8.8.4 ipaddress string 192.168.0.56 netmask string 255.255.255.0 gateway string 192.168.0.6 netcfg/confirm_static boolean true hostname preseedpartition domain dev NOTE: see preseed_aliases mentioned earlier in post ;preseed.cfg:- d-i netcfg/get_nameservers string 8.8.8.8 d-i netcfg/get_ipaddress string 192.168.0.56 d-i netcfg/get_netmask string 255.255.255.0 d-i netcfg/get_gateway string 192.168.0.6 d-i netcfg/confirm_static boolean true d-i netcfg/get_hostname string preseedpartition d-i netcfg/get_domain string .dev NOTE: requires confirm_static > > Thank you and happy celebrations.
