Is it like this ? LABEL Custom Graphical Debian Installer SAY "Booting Custom Graphical Debian Installer..." linux /d-i/gtk/vmlinuz APPEND file=/cdrom/preseed/preseed.cfg auto=true initrd=/d-i/gtk/initrd.gz video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr vga=788
anyway,using another append shouldn't be wrong because the debian developers used,not me,in this way : LABEL Graphical Debian Installer SAY "Booting Graphical Debian Installer..." linux /d-i/gtk/vmlinuz APPEND initrd=/d-i/gtk/initrd.gz append video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr vga=788 but it is also true that here they have omitted it : LABEL Debian Installer with Speech Synthesis SAY "Booting Debian Installer with Speech Synthesis..." linux /d-i/gtk/vmlinuz APPEND initrd=/d-i/gtk/initrd.gz speakup.synth=soft so,I don't know. Maybe both the solutions should be ok. Il giorno gio 13 ott 2022 alle ore 21:17 Thomas Schmitt <scdbac...@gmx.net> ha scritto: > Hi, > > Mario Marietto wrote: > > You are right.
