Figuring out Critical Debian-Installer questions

Jurjen Bokma

January 2010

This is really just a hunch. We want to figure out which questions the Debian Installer asks are critical, in order to put together a minimal preseed file. To be perfectly clear: the procedure outlined below is hypothetical. I've never done this.

  1. Get the Debian Installer running.

  2. Go to /var/lib/dpkg/info.

  3. Grep for 'priority=critical' in *.config

    Prowl the *.config scripts to see which questions are asked with priority=critical
