#### Preseeding the first stage of the installation ### Localization # Locale sets language and country. #d-i debian-installer/locale string sv_SE # Keyboard selection. #d-i console-tools/archs select at d-i kbd-chooser/method select se-latin1 # Example for a different keyboard architecture #d-i kbd-chooser/method select mac-usb-us ### Network configuration # netcfg will choose an interface that has link if possible. This makes it # skip displaying a list if there is more than one interface. #d-i netcfg/choose_interface select auto d-i netcfg/choose_interface select eth0 # To pick a particular interface instead: #d-i netcfg/choose_interface select eth1 # If you have a slow dhcp server and the installer times out waiting for # it, this might be useful. #d-i netcfg/dhcp_timeout string 60 # If you prefer to configure the network manually, here's how: #d-i netcfg/disable_dhcp boolean true #d-i netcfg/get_nameservers string 192.168.1.1 #d-i netcfg/get_ipaddress string 192.168.1.42 #d-i netcfg/get_netmask string 255.255.255.0 #d-i netcfg/get_gateway string 192.168.1.1 #d-i netcfg/confirm_static boolean true # Any hostname and domain names assigned from dhcp take precedence over # values set here. However, setting the values still prevents the questions # from being shown, even if values come from dhcp. d-i netcfg/get_hostname string unassigned-hostname d-i netcfg/get_domain string unassigned-domain # Disable that annoying WEP key dialog. d-i netcfg/wireless_wep string # The wacky dhcp hostname that some ISPs use as a password of sorts. #d-i netcfg/dhcp_hostname string radish ### Mirror settings d-i mirror/country string enter information manually d-i mirror/http/hostname string se.archive.ubuntu.com d-i mirror/http/directory string /ubuntu d-i mirror/http/proxy string # Suite to install. #d-i mirror/suite string dapper # Suite to use for loading installer components (optional). #d-i mirror/udeb/suite string dapper ### Partitioning # If the system has free space you can choose to only partition that space. #d-i partman-auto/init_automatically_partition select Use the largest continuous free space # Alternatively, you can specify a disk to partition. The device name can # be given in either devfs or traditional non-devfs format. # For example, to use the first disk devfs knows of: #d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/discs/disc0/disc # You can choose from any of the predefined partitioning recipes: #d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe select All files in one partition (recommended for new users) #d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe select Separate /home partition #d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe \ # select Separate /home, /usr, /var, and /tmp partitions # Or provide a recipe of your own... # The recipe format is documented in the file devel/partman-auto-recipe.txt. # If you have a way to get a recipe file into the d-i environment, you can # just point at it. #d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe_file string /hd-media/recipe # If not, you can put an entire recipe the preseed file in one (logical) # line. This example creates a small /boot partition, suitable swap, and # uses the rest of the space for the root partition: #d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string \ # boot-root :: \ # 40 50 100 ext3 \ # $primary{ } $bootable{ } \ # method{ format } format{ } \ # use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } \ # mountpoint{ /boot } \ # . \ # 500 10000 1000000000 ext3 \ # method{ format } format{ } \ # use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } \ # mountpoint{ / } \ # . \ # 64 512 300% linux-swap \ # method{ swap } format{ } \ # . # This makes partman automatically partition without confirmation. #d-i partman/confirm_write_new_label boolean true #d-i partman/choose_partition select Finish partitioning and write changes to disk #d-i partman/confirm boolean true ### Clock and time zone setup # Controls whether or not the hardware clock is set to UTC. d-i clock-setup/utc boolean true # You may set this to any valid setting for $TZ; see the contents of # /usr/share/zoneinfo/ for valid values. d-i time/zone string Europe/Stockholm ### Apt setup # You can choose to install restricted and universe software, or to install # software from the backports repository. d-i apt-setup/restricted boolean true d-i apt-setup/universe boolean true #d-i apt-setup/backports boolean true ### Account setup # Skip creation of a root account (normal user account will be able to # use sudo). The default is false; preseed this to true if you want to set # a root password. #d-i passwd/root-login boolean false # Alternatively, to skip creation of a normal user account. #d-i passwd/make-user boolean false # Root password, either in clear text #d-i passwd/root-password password r00tme #d-i passwd/root-password-again password r00tme # or encrypted using an MD5 hash. #d-i passwd/root-password-crypted password [MD5 hash] # Alternatively, create a normal user account. #d-i passwd/user-fullname string Ubuntu User #d-i passwd/username string ubuntu # Normal user's password, either in clear text # the oem-config-udeb creates and later removes this user... d-i passwd/user-password password oem d-i passwd/user-password-again password oem #d-i passwd/user-password-again password insecure # or encrypted using an MD5 hash. #d-i passwd/user-password-crypted password [MD5 hash] ### Boot loader installation # Grub is the default boot loader (for x86). If you want lilo installed # instead, uncomment this: #d-i grub-installer/skip boolean true # This is fairly safe to set, it makes grub install automatically to the MBR # if no other operating system is detected on the machine. d-i grub-installer/only_debian boolean true # This one makes grub-installer install to the MBR if if finds some other OS # too, which is less safe as it might not be able to boot that other OS. d-i grub-installer/with_other_os boolean true # Alternatively, if you want to install to a location other than the mbr, # uncomment and edit these lines: #d-i grub-installer/bootdev string (hd0,0) #d-i grub-installer/only_debian boolean false #d-i grub-installer/with_other_os boolean false ### Package selection # The default is: #d-i pkgsel/install-pattern string ~t^ubuntu-standard$|~t^ubuntu-desktop$ # there seems to be a problem with pkgsel, so we do this on our own later d-i pkgsel/install-pattern string ~t^ubuntu-standard$ #d-i pkgsel/install-pattern string # ... but you could choose something different, such as: #d-i pkgsel/install-pattern string ~t^ubuntu-standard$|~n^openssh-server$ # You can also choose to set this to the empty string, and force the # installation of a set of packages in some other way. ### Finishing up the first stage install # Avoid that last message about the install being complete. d-i prebaseconfig/reboot_in_progress note # This will prevent the installer from ejecting the CD during the reboot, # which is useful in some situations. #d-i cdrom-detect/eject boolean false ### X configuration # X can detect the right driver for some cards, but if you're preseeding, # you override whatever it chooses. Still, vesa will work most places. #xserver-xorg xserver-xorg/config/device/driver select vesa # A caveat with mouse autodetection is that if it fails, X will retry it # over and over. So if it's preseeded to be done, there is a possibility of # an infinite loop if the mouse is not autodetected. #xserver-xorg xserver-xorg/autodetect_mouse boolean true # Monitor autodetection is recommended. xserver-xorg xserver-xorg/autodetect_monitor boolean true # Uncomment if you have an LCD display. xserver-xorg xserver-xorg/config/monitor/lcd boolean true # X has three configuration paths for the monitor. Here's how to preseed # the "medium" path, which is always available. The "simple" path may not # be available, and the "advanced" path asks too many questions. #xserver-xorg xserver-xorg/config/monitor/selection-method select medium #xserver-xorg xserver-xorg/config/monitor/mode-list select 1024x768 @ 60 Hz ### Preseeding other packages # Depending on what software you choose to install, or if things go wrong # during the installation process, it's possible that other questions may # be asked. You can preseed those too, of course. To get a list of every # possible question that could be asked during an install, do an # installation, and then run these commands: # debconf-get-selections --installer > file # debconf-get-selections >> file # avoids a stupid question later #pkgsel pkgsel/install-language-support boolean false d-i pkgsel/language-packs multiselect # avoids an unneeded note from oem-config oem-config-udeb oem-config-udeb/instructions string #### Advanced options ### Shell commands # d-i preseeding is inherently not secure. Nothing in the installer checks # for attempts at buffer overflows or other exploits of the values of a # preseed file like this one. Only use preseed files from trusted # locations! To drive that home, and because it's generally useful, here's # a way to run any shell command you'd like inside the installer, # automatically. # This first command is run as early as possible, just after # preseeding is read. #d-i preseed/early_command string anna-install oem­config-udeb # This command is run just before the install finishes, but when there is # still a usable /target directory. d-i preseed/late_command string /cdrom/scripts/stickybit-setup.sh
