Package: debian-installer-launcher Version: 5 Severity: normal I want to do a live install from the media without disrupting my existing network connection in the live system, so I am using preseeding from the boot prompt to attempt to accomplish this. When performed from the launcher, it fails. When performed from one of the Install boot options, it succeeds.
I pass "netcfg/enable=false" as a boot parameter via "Live" boot target using the i386 iso-hybrid gnome flavour of Squeeze Debian Live rc1 at: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/squeeze_live_rc1/i386/iso-hybrid/ Then, once I am booted to the live system, the parameter is visible in /proc/cmdline. When I launch the installer, answer the initial dialog, and then open a shell from the installer menu, I can see that /proc/cmdline also contains the parameter here. However, the installer does not skip network configuration. When I compare this with passing "netcfg/enable=false" via the "GUI Install" boot option, network configuration is skipped as desired. So it would appear that the launcher is not passing boot parameters to d-i somehow. When I discussed this with Otavio on irc, he was unable to quickly determine the cause, and requested I file this bug.
