People with more experience of preseeding might comment on whether this suggestion would work. I notice that this option is available, which might be what you want: # When disk encryption is enabled, skip wiping the partitions beforehand.¹ #d-i partman-auto-crypto/erase_disks boolean false You might wish to combine this with: "Boot parameters can also be used if you do not really want to use preseeding, but just want to provide an answer for a specific question. Some examples where this can be useful are documented elsewhere in this manual."² PS: Marco's suggestion is officially sanctioned: ┌──┤ Erasing data on SCSI1 (0,0,0), partition #5 (sda) ├──┐ │ │ │ 100% │ │ │ │ The installer is now overwriting SCSI1 (0,0,0), partition #5 (sda) │ │ with random data to prevent meta-information leaks from the encrypted │ │ volume.

It sounds like a bunch of work only to end up with things that get logged anyway (as you noted) plus the risk of missing other interesting things.

random data during install
When using netinst iso to install Debian, one is offered the possibility of guided install with encrypted LVM. if such a choice is made the installer fills the partition with random data. That is generally the correct thing to do but in some cases that is not needed or desired and it is an inconvenience. Is there a way to disable that?

This means that after doing su, your PATH may not contain directories like /sbin, and many system administration commands will fail. There are several workarounds: * Use su - instead; this launches a login shell, which forces PATH to be changed, but also changes everything else including the working directory. * Use sudo instead. sudo still runs commands with an altered PATH variable. o To get a regular root shell with the correct PATH, you may use sudo -s. o To get a login shell as root (equivalent to su -), you may use sudo -i. * Put ALWAYS_SET_PATH yes in /etc/default/su (create it) to get an approximation of the old behavior. This is documented in su(1). * Put the system administration directories (/sbin, /usr/sbin, /usr/local/sbin) in your regular account's PATH (see EnvironmentVariables for help with this).
