Where can I find the full list of options for preseed.cfg?

#1 Post by kerryhall »

Hi folks,

I know about this:
https://www.debian.org/releases/stretch ... reseed.txt

But this doesn't give a full list of options available. This is just a quickstart style example.

Where can I find a full list of preseed options and the parameters they can accept?

Thanks!

I searched for man preseed into StartPage. The first hit was about a Debian installer. The rest are about . . . well have a look. :lol:

I should have used man page preseed.

That's funny, I have gotten some funny results at times, but that is about
the funniest I have seen, but then again, it would be expected.

Code: Select all

manual page  preseed.cfg on Debian  
Yields better results,
https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/ ... 02.html.en


According to this :
https://debian-handbook.info/browse/sta ... ation.html
The debconf.conf(5) manual page describes all the possibilities in detail (you need the debconf-doc package).
and according to this:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/question ... ed-options
Answers
Like yaegashi said, there is no manual containing a full list.
So I don't know either, I give up :(

Do an installation, install the package debconf-utils then call debconf-get-selections. This will give you a list of all debconf preseed items of all the pacckage you have installed.
