I'd be inclined to say that the conribution in unofficial is from a
DD, who may or not be part of the installer team. It is "unofficail"

The notes in my preseed.cfg say this is not so if the file is presented
to the installer on a GRUB command line. What works is to have nothing
about hostname in preseed.cfg but put "hostname=..." on the command

At the prompt type 'ls' and post the output.

I can assure you (having done it)
that realisation sometimes comes at a substantial price, especially
when more than one package is involved.
The average user loses nothing by ignoring suggestions not to install

to do it in. Try it sometime.
I have to carefully read the outputs of 'apt show' and test. The default
package installation is with --no-install-recommends. Tedious and time-

Are you an average user? Lots of disk space? Want a trouble-free system?
Stick with the default installing recommended packages advice.

gzip is already on the system (Priority: required), unzip isn't. But a
confused user wouldn't have this in mind. The recommendation is sound.

Section 3.6.2. of the Installation Guide? The final paragraph.

me years ago but cannot
recollect in any detail whether it solved my issue with three machines
unable to boot from a USB stick. I went back to using Plop with GRUB
either because nativedisk didn't help or because Plop is an easy to

is read, how many ignore the advice? Even users with experience
