Debian Installer boot parameters

[klosed]

I'm making some tests with Debian Setup.
As reported by the docs https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/ ... 03.html.en there are some boot parameters available for the Debian Installer.
I would like to try a setup setting the base-installer/install-recommends to false.
This can be done via preseeding, but I'd like to try it out setting the boot parameter.
I've tried several combinations but no one has been effective.

Could someone explain me in full detail what is the syntax for setting the base-installer/install-recommends parameter to false at boot time?

Post what you have tried (in as much detail as possible) to avoid duplication of effort.

Code: Select all

base-installer/install-recommends=false

base-installer/install-recommends (recommends)

By setting this option to false, the package management system will be configured to not automatically install “Recommends”, both during the installation and for the installed system. See also Section 6.3.4, “Installing the Base System”.

Note that this option allows to have a leaner system, but can also result in features being missing that you might normally expect to be available. You may have to manually install some of the recommended packages to obtain the full functionality you want. This option should therefore only be used by very experienced users.

although I do not know whether "base-installer/install-recommends=false" is proper nor whether s/he gave it correctly as kernel parameter
