Problems: * Isn't it a bit odd to prompt for the debconf priority before prompting for the language? How can I read the debconf priority prompt if I don't speak english? The first prompt should be the language prompt. Yes it's bad. I don't know a clean way to do it though, since

[Martin Sjögren] Yes it's bad. I don't know a clean way to do it though, since languagechooser should depend on cdebconf-udeb, and what happens when you pick languagechooser from the menu is that packages are recursively configured. What about moving the cdebconf priority question away from

Repeatable Custom Installation

Does anyone know of a sensible means to do many custom debian installations at once, from CD? What I am thinking of is a ground-up installer (specific to ia32, really), that takes care of partitioning, boot manager, file system setup, core user utilities (ie. a subset of debian 'base'), and
