With install you need to provide the _full_ url to the preseed file because URL expansion does not work.

I've no idea how to continue after that. The boot debug shell allows to make changes _before_ the installer is actually booted, so you can for example enable debugging. You just 'exit' the shell (2 times) to let the installer continue to boot. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
