+# Preseed file for debconf in HEL
+
+#### Modifying syslinux.cfg.
+
+# Edit the syslinux.cfg (or similar) file, and add parameters to the end
+# of the append line(s) for the kernel.
+#
+# You'll at least want to add a parameter telling the installer where to
+# get its preseed file from.
+# If you're installing from USB media, use this, and put the preseed file
+# in the toplevel directory of the USB stick.
+#   preseed/file=/hd-media/preseed
+# If you're netbooting, use this instead:
+#   preseed/url=http://host/path/to/preseed
+# If you're remastering a CD, you could use this:
+#   preseed/file=/cdrom/preseed
+# Be sure to copy this file to the location you specify.
+# 
+# While you're at it, you may want to throw a debconf/priority=critical in
+# there, to avoid most questions even if the preseeding below misses some.
+# And you might set the timeout to 1 in syslinux.cfg to avoid needing to hit
+# enter to boot the installer.
+#
+# Language, country, and keyboard selection cannot be preseeded from a file,
+# because the questions are asked before the preseed file can be loaded.
+# Instead, to avoid these questions, pass some more parameters to the kernel:
+#
+#    languagechooser/language-name=English
+#    countrychooser/shortlist=US
+#    console-keymaps-at/keymap=us
+#
+# Note that the kernel accepts a maximum of 8 command line options and
+# 8 environment options (including any options added by default for the
+# installer). If these numbers are exceeded, 2.4 kernels will drop any
+# excess options and 2.6 kernels will panic.
+# Some of the default options, like 'vga=normal' and 'devfs=mount' may be
+# safely removed for most installations, which may allow you to add more
+# options for preseeding.
+
+#### Shell commands.
+
+# d-i preseeding is inherently not secure. Nothing in the installer checks
+# for attempts at buffer overflows or other exploits of the values of a
+# preseed file like this one. Only use preseed files from trusted
+# locations! To drive that home, and because it's generally useful, here's
+# a way to run any shell command you'd like inside the installer,
+# automatically.
+
+# This first command is run as early as possible, just after
+# preseeding is read.
+#d-i preseed/early_command              string wget http://url/to/my.udeb -O /tmp/my.udeb; udpkg -i /tmp/my.udeb
+
+# This command is run just before the install finishes, but when there is
+# still a usable /target directory.
+#d-i preseed/late_command               string for deb in /hd-media/*.deb; do cp $deb /target/tmp; chroot /target dpkg -i /tmp/$(basename $deb); done
+
+# This command is run just as base-config is starting up.
+#base-config base-config/early_command  string echo hi mom
+
+# This command is run after base-config is done, just before the login:
+# prompt. This is a good way to install a set of packages you want, or to
+# tweak the configuration of the system.
+# Make sources.list work on real network, not install network.
+base-config base-config/late_command   string touch /etc/ssh/sshd_not_to_be_run; echo "deb http://layer-acht.org/ fai-files/" >> /etc/apt/sources.list; apt-get update; apt-get install fai; fai -N softupdate
+
+#### Network configuration.
+
+# Of course, this won't work if you're loading your preseed file from the
+# network! But it's great if you're booting from CD or USB stick. You can
+# also pass network config parameters in on the kernel params if you are
+# loading preseed files from the network.
+
+# netcfg will choose an interface that has link if possible. This makes it
+# skip displaying a list if there is more than one interface.
+d-i  netcfg/choose_interface            select eth0
+
+# If you prefer to configure the network manually, here's how:
+#d-i netcfg/disable_dhcp                boolean true
+#d-i netcfg/get_nameservers             string 192.168.1.1
+#d-i netcfg/get_ipaddress               string 192.168.1.42
+#d-i netcfg/get_netmask                 string 255.255.255.0
+#d-i netcfg/get_gateway                 string 192.168.1.1
+#d-i netcfg/confirm_static              boolean true
+
+# Note that any hostname and domain names assigned from dhcp take
+# precedence over values set here. However, setting the values still
+# prevents the questions from being shown even if values come from dhcp.
+d-i  netcfg/get_hostname                string unassigned-hostname
+d-i  netcfg/get_domain                  string unassigned-domain
+
+# Disable that annoying WEP key dialog.
+d-i  netcfg/wireless_wep                string
+# The wacky dhcp hostname that some ISPs use as a password of sorts.
+#d-i netcfg/dhcp_hostname               string radish
+
+#### Mirror settings.
+
+d-i  mirror/country                     string enter information manually
+d-i  mirror/http/hostname               string ftp.fi.debian.org
+d-i  mirror/http/directory              string /debian
+d-i  mirror/suite                       string stable
+d-i  mirror/http/proxy                  string 
+
+### Partitioning.
+
+# If the system has free space you can choose to only partition that space.
+#d-i partman-auto/init_automatically_partition select Use the largest continuous free space
+
+# Alternatively, you can specify a disk to partition. The device name can
+# be given in either devfs or traditional non-devfs format.
+# For example, to use the first disk devfs knows of:
+d-i  partman-auto/disk                  string /dev/discs/disc0/disc
+
+# You can choose from any of the predefined partitioning recipes:
+d-i  partman-auto/choose_recipe         select All files in one partition (recommended for new users)
+#d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe         select Desktop machine
+#d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe         select Multi-user workstation
+
+# Or provide a recipe of your own...
+# The recipe format is documented in the file devel/partman-auto-recipe.txt.
+# If you have a way to get a recipe file into the d-i environment, you can
+# just point at it.
+#d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe_file    string /hd-media/recipe
+
+# If not, you can put an entire recipe in one line. This example creates
+# a small /boot partition, suitable swap, and uses the rest of the space
+# for the root partition:
+#d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe         string boot-root :: 20 50 100 ext3 $primary{ } $bootable{ } method{ format } format{ } use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } mountpoint{ /boot } . 500 10000 1000000000 ext3 method{ format } format{ } use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } mountpoint{ / } . 64 512 300% linux-swap method{ swap } format{ } . 
+# For reference, here is that same recipe in a more readable form:
+#    boot-root ::
+#       40 50 100 ext3
+#          $primary{ } $bootable{ }
+#          method{ format } format{ }
+#          use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 }
+#          mountpoint{ /boot }
+#       .
+#       500 10000 1000000000 ext3
+#          method{ format } format{ }
+#          use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 }
+#          mountpoint{ / }
+#       .
+#       64 512 300% linux-swap
+#          method{ swap } format{ }
+#       .
+
+# This makes partman automatically partition without confirmation.
+d-i partman/confirm_write_new_label     boolean true
+d-i partman/choose_partition            select Finish partitioning and write changes to disk
+d-i partman/confirm                     boolean true
+
+#### Boot loader installation.
+
+# Grub is the default boot loader (for x86). If you want lilo installed
+# instead, uncomment this:
+#d-i grub-installer/skip                boolean true
+
+# This is fairly safe to set, it makes grub install automatically to the MBR
+# if no other operating system is detected on the machine.
+d-i  grub-installer/only_debian         boolean true
+
+# This one makes grub-installer install to the MBR if if finds some other OS
+# too, which is less safe as it might not be able to boot that other OS.
+d-i  grub-installer/with_other_os       boolean true
+
+# Alternatively, if you want to install to a location other than the mbr,
+# uncomment and edit these lines:
+#d-i grub-installer/bootdev             string (hd0,0)
+#d-i grub-installer/only_debian         boolean false
+#d-i grub-installer/with_other_os       boolean false
+
+##### Finishing up the first stage install.
+
+# Avoid that last message about the install being complete.
+d-i  prebaseconfig/reboot_in_progress   note 
+
+
+##### Preseeding base-config.
+
+# Avoid the introductory message.
+base-config  base-config/intro          note
+
+# Avoid the final message.
+base-config  base-config/login          note
+
+# If you installed a display manager, but don't want to start it immediately
+# after base-config finishes.
+#base-config base-config/start-display-manager        boolean false
+
+###### Time zone setup.
+
+# Controls whether or not the hardware clock is set to GMT.
+base-config  tzconfig/gmt                             boolean true
+
+# If you told the installer that you're in the United States, then you
+# can set the time zone using this variable.
+# (Choices are: Eastern, Central, Mountain, Pacific, Alaska, Hawaii,
+# Aleutian, Arizona East-Indiana, Indiana-Starke, Michigan, Samoa, other)
+#base-config  tzconfig/choose_country_zone/US          select Eastern
+# If you told it you're in Canada.
+# (Choices are: Newfoundland, Atlantic, Eastern, Central,
+# East-Saskatchewan, Saskatchewan, Mountain, Pacific, Yukon, other)
+#base-config  tzconfig/choose_country_zone/CA          select Eastern
+# If you told it you're in Brazil. (Choices are: East, West, Acre,
+# DeNoronha, other)
+#base-config  tzconfig/choose_country_zone/BR          select East
+# Many countries have only one time zone. If you told the installer you're
+# in one of those countries, you can choose its standard time zone via this
+# question.
+base-config  tzconfig/choose_country_zone_single      boolean true
+# This question is asked as a fallback for countries other than those
+# listed above, which have more than one time zone. You can preseed one of
+# the time zones, or "other".
+#base-config tzconfig/choose_country_zone_multiple    select 
+
+###### Account setup.
+
+# To preseed the root password, you have to put it in the clear in this
+# file. That is not a very good idea, use caution!
+passwd passwd/root-password            password debian
+passwd passwd/root-password-again      password debian
+
+# If you want to skip creation of a normal user account.
+#passwd passwd/make-user                boolean false
+
+# Alternatively, you can preseed the user's name and login.
+passwd passwd/user-fullname            string Debian User
+passwd passwd/username                 string debian
+# And their password, but use caution!
+passwd passwd/user-password            password debian
+passwd passwd/user-password-again      password debian
+
+###### Apt setup.
+
+# This question controls what source the second stage installation uses
+# for packages. Choices are cdrom, http, ftp, filesystem, edit sources list
+# by hand
+base-config  apt-setup/uri_type         select http
+
+# If you choose ftp or http, you'll be asked for a country and a mirror.
+base-config  apt-setup/country          select enter information manually
+base-config  apt-setup/hostname         string ftp.fi.debian.org
+base-config  apt-setup/directory        string /debian
+# Stop after choosing one mirror.
+base-config  apt-setup/another          boolean false
+
+# You can choose to install non-free and contrib software.
+#base-config apt-setup/non-free         boolean true
+#base-config apt-setup/contrib          boolean true
+
+# Do enable security updates.
+base-config  apt-setup/security-updates boolean true
+
+###### Package selection.
+
+# You can choose to install any combination of tasks that are available.
+# Available tasks as of this writing include: Desktop environment,
+# Web server, Print server, DNS server, File server, Mail server, 
+# SQL database, manual package selection. The last of those will run
+# aptitude. You can also choose to install no tasks, and force the
+# installation of a set of packages in some other way.
+tasksel      tasksel/first   multiselect Desktop environment
+#tasksel     tasksel/first   multiselect Web server, Mail server, DNS server
+
+###### Mailer configuration.
+
+# During a normal install, exim asks only two questions. Here's how to
+# avoid even those. More complicated preseeding is possible.
+exim4-config exim4/dc_eximconfig_configtype select no configuration at this time
+
+# It's a good idea to set this to whatever user account you choose to
+# create. Leaving the value blank results in postmaster mail going to
+# /var/mail/mail.
+exim4-config exim4/dc_postmaster        string 
+
+###### X Configuration.
+
+# Preseeding Debian's X config is possible, but you probably need to know
+# some details about the video hardware of the machine, since Debian's X
+# configurator does not do fully automatic configuration of everything.
+
+# X can detect the right driver for some cards, but if you're preseeding,
+# you override whatever it chooses. Still, vesa will work most places.
+#xserver-xfree86 xserver-xfree86/config/device/driver select vesa
+
+# A caveat with mouse autodetection is that if it fails, X will retry it
+# over and over. So if it's preseeded to be done, there is a possibility of
+# an infinite loop if the mouse is not autodetected.
+#xserver-xfree86 xserver-xfree86/autodetect_mouse     boolean true
+
+# Monitor autodetection is recommended.
+xserver-xfree86 xserver-xfree86/autodetect_monitor    boolean true
+# Uncomment if you have a LCD display.
+xserver-xfree86 xserver-xfree86/config/monitor/lcd   boolean true
+# X has three configuration paths for the monitor. Here's how to preseed
+# the "medium" path, which is always available. The "simple" path may not
+# be available, and the "advanced" path asks too many questions.
+xserver-xfree86  xserver-xfree86/config/monitor/selection-method select medium
+xserver-xfree86  xserver-xfree86/config/monitor/mode-list select 1024x768 @ 60 Hz
+
+###### Everything else.
+
+# Depending on what software you choose to install, or if things go wrong
+# during the installation process, it's possible that other questions may
+# be asked. You can preseed those too, of course. To get a list of every
+# possible question that could be asked during an install, do an
+# installation, and then run these commands:
+#   debconf-get-selections --installer > file
+#   debconf-get-selections >> file
+
+# If you like, you can include other preseed files into this one.
+# Any settings in those files will override pre-existing settings from this
+# file. More that one file can be listed, separated by spaces; all will be
+# loaded. The included files can have preseed/include directives of their
+# own as well. Note that if the filenames are relative, they are taken from
+# the same directory as the preseed file that includes them.
+#d-i preseed/include                    string x.cfg
+
+# More flexibly, this runs a shell command and if it outputs the names of
+# preseed files, includes those files. For example, to switch configs based
+# on a particular usb storage device (in this case, a built-in card reader):
+#d-i preseed/include_command            string if $(grep -q "GUID: 0aec3050aec305000001a003" /proc/scsi/usb-storage-*/*); then echo kraken.cfg; else echo otherusb.cfg; fi
