This makes a bit more sense (I was wondering how you could have avoided the initrd-preseed stuff). So, my next guess is that file-preseed is the udeb that is in the netinst, but is not the mini. If that's the case, you can probably just use network-preseed to get the job done, but specifying it as a url=, rather than as a file= like this: url=file:///cdrom/preseed.cfg (the 3 slashes are required BTW) BTW You can check my theory by looking for /var/lib/dpkg/info/file-preseed* Cheers, Phil. -- |)| Philip Hands [+44 (0)20 8530 9560] HANDS.COM Ltd. |-| http://www.hands.com/ http://ftp.uk.debian.org/ |(| Hugo-Klemm-Strasse 34, 21075 Hamburg, GERMANY
