Sorry, I should have been more explicit. Preseeding, in any form I am currently aware of, will not serve my needs. I need to be able to interrogate the machine to work out how I need to partition the machine (one disk => LVM, two disks => MD+LVM, for example). Perhaps there's an undocumented debconf option which partman uses to work out "hey, I need to run this script instead", which would be great, but I've poked and googled and come up dry on that front. > Are you looking to replace that stage for another or just remove it? I'm looking to replace partman (since there is none of it that I need) with a shell script (or equivalent) of my own devising to make partitions and do whatever else (indicating partition => mountpoint mappings, for instance) partman does in a normal install. > Both methods are quite simple.

I've preseeded a fair bit in the past, but this requirement goes *way* beyond what I know can be done with preseeding. - Matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
