Re: About using static config with pxeboot/preseed

 Hello,
 I'm trying to configure full automated install.
 The server is booting over pxe, get his dhcp lease and retrieve the preseed

 over http.

 Preseeding is working well but not for the net config : ip address, hostname, 
 ...

 After reboot, dhcp is still used and hostname is 'debian'.

 Is this a normal behaviour ? No way to use DHCP to get the address for d-i and
 install the server with a static address ?

Probably not easily, but you can use preseed/late_command to overwrite
/target/etc/network/interfaces if you wish.  I use initrd preseeding
with static network config during installation, and that works well.

Yeah, we noticed that as well.
In our provisioning software (noc-ps) we simply work around that by not 
specifying the configuration in the preseed file, but feeding a static 
network configuration through kernel parameters:


==
netcfg/disable_dhcp=true netcfg/get_ipaddress=$ip 
netcfg/get_netmask=$netmask netcfg/get_gateway=$gateway

==


Regarding hostname:
