Hi fellow Debian Users I am currently trying to build an USB stick that does a scripted install of Debian. This works very well, and much much easier with UEFI, where you can just edit the preseed.cfg file instead of rebuilding an ISO every time you make a change.
But: I am stuck with getting rid of two groups of prompts: The first three prompts in any install are language, country and keymap (German, Austria, German) in my case. I have googled around a bit and included the following for now (some of it probably redundant, useless or cargo cultish): d-i debian-installer/locale string de_AT d-i debconf/language string de d-i console-setup/ask_detect boolean false d-i keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap select de d-i keyboard-configuration/layoutcode string de d-i keyboard-configuration/variantcode string d-i console-keymaps-usb/keymap select German d-i console-keymaps-at/keymap select German Some of this I grabbed from https://preseed.debian.net/debian-preseed/bookworm/ but this is a lot of information in these files. The above is not enough to get my three selections without being prompted. Similar with the menu where the desktop environment is selected. I want LXDE and "SSH Server". I always drop back into the menu. I have tried: d-i pkgsel/include string openssh-server d-i tasksel/desktop multiselect lxde I am using the most recent netinstall image 12.8.0, and using this recipe for UEFI configurations: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/WritableUSBStick All other configurations (e.g. partitioning, mirror etc.) are picked up just fine. Any hints for me? /ralph
