To me, this looks like a very nice solution! In the tasksel screen, the "back" button was enabled for the first time, but produced an error and brought me back to the list of installation steps. Going through the sofware selection a second time made the back button disappear. I have absolutely no experience with preseeding, so I can't test it more than the interactive use case. The advantage of your solution is that one doesn't need to touch tasksel itself, which may address Cyrils doubts. And since Holger also seems to be happy with this solution: maybe we could focus on this in the further discussion? Best regards Ole
