Debian calls it the 'preseed' file. Looks like you can just pass preseed/file=$filePath to the kernel params. https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/apbs02.html.en#preseed-bootparms Full preseed reference can be found here; https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/apb.html On Fri, Sep 4

[lopsa-tech] Debian equivalent of ks.cfg?

2015-09-04 Thread Adam Moskowitz
When I boot an RHEL/CentOS system from DVD or ISO, I can grab the system at the boot menu and set "inst.ks=" and have it use a ks.cfg I put on a USB stick. Is there an equivalent for Debian and if so, what it it? That is, what's the Debian equivalent of ks.cfg AND how do I specify it at boot time?
