Re: [packer] Skip shutdown
I'm using vmware-iso builder and would like to use the machine for other operations without power on again. *Example:* Step 1: Building Debian server and installing an app using ansible provision. Step 2: Run automation scripts and tests against above provisioned machine. Regards Vallinayagam.K On Wednesday, 7 March 2018 22:52:06 UTC+5:30, Rickard von Essen wrote: > > No in general it's not.

Re: [packer] Cannot get preseed file - How to enable bridged mode in virtualbox-iso
Thanks for the answer, But the VM doesn't take the ip address 192.168.0.130
which is given in the preseed and json file.
