i reported a similar bug for i386, but apparently it only got fixed for i386. seeing as it's been a problem, maybe i'll keep the workaround you proposed (for a while, there was a workaround in build-simple-cdd for this). > It gives you the option of specifying a keyboard layout (--keyboard), so > that d-i will go away doing its thing and not speak to you until it asks > which profile you wish to install, nice. another way i've been meaning to look into to accomplish this is to use debian-installer's "auto" mode, so that you could include the keyboard/language/country settings in the regular preseed file. > and add an option to ignore debconf > preseed errors (--force-preseed), which allows you to build a CD as a > non-root user and still preseed questions only root has access to. well, as for building preseeds, i don't think there are any questions that non-root users can't configure. debconf-set-selections run as a non-root user will produce a warning about not being able to read the debconf passwords database, but that shouldn't in any way prevent you from including any question you want in your preseeding. i'll look into suppressing the warning message, and consider how to implement your patch in a way consistant with the coding style of simple-cdd. i'll try to merge these when i get the chance (probably this weekend). live well, vagrant -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
