Package: debian-installer Version: 20150422+deb8u3 Severity: important Tags: d-i
I used the current netboot.tar.gz for debian jessie from http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/jessie/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ to create a pxe based preseeded installation. Everything works fine except the tasksel configuration. I don't want to execute any of the tasksel tasks. Whatever I do, the installer starts to install about 1500 packages including Xorg. I tried tasksel tasksel/first multiselect then I added tasksel tasksel/skip-tasks string standard which I had in a working minimal configuration for wheezy. Nothing helped. I ran a normal manual install and dumped the configuration with debconf-get-selections --installer The output contained the line d-i tasksel/first multiselect which is different from what is documented for the installer - but I tried that, too. Then I added all the tasks from "tasksel --list" to the skip-tasks line mentioned above.... Still a full desktop installation. Is there any way to install a really minimal configuration via preseeding in jessie?
