Trust me, it works great for doing quick installs in virtualbox etc. When "baking" the preseed in intrd, you can get a full install in about 3 minutes. Okay, there are snapshots... but I like to have it quick and small. > What do you mean by a outside the initrd? "outside" means: preseed.cfg lies in root and LINUXISO has: APPEND file=/cdrom/preseed.cfg "inside" means: packed inside initrd.gz (like done ine Philip's turorial) > How are you self-building these netboot images? I've simply downloaded the source of the debian-installer and rebuild it: git clone http://anonscm.debian.org/git/d-i/debian-installer.git --branch wheezy --single-branch "make build_netboot" or "make rebuild_netboot". These netboot-images work, but the "official" mini.iso doesn't. Best, Lars-Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-cd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
