Hi Sorry for the lack of information.
auto preseed, not expert: https://github.com/ozitraveller/star-live-build/blob/master/xfce-64/config/includes.installer/preseed.cfg version: jessie install media: iso image mounted as virtual CDROM : yes Yes that is the dialog I got, only not QEMU. Yes I understand the other options thanks. I hope this helps. regards On Fri, Sep 12, 2014 at 10:18 AM, Steven Chamberlain <ste...@pyro.eu.org> wrote: > Hi, > > On 12/09/14 00:54, Ozi Traveller wrote: > > I've noticed that this happens when I'm installing into a virtualbox vm, > > and there is only single partition. > > Thanks, this is useful information for me.
