• installing the base system; • preseeding the Debconf database with fai-debconf; • fetching the list of available packages for APT; • installing the packages listed in /fai/package_config/class; • executing the post-configuration scripts, /fai/scripts/class/[0-9][0-9]*; • recording the installation logs, unmounting the partitions, and rebooting. 12.3.2. Preseeding Debian-Installer At the end of the day, the best tool to install Debian systems should logically be the official Debian installer. This is why, right from its inception, debian-installer has been designed for automated use, taking advantage of the infrastructure provided by debconf. The latter allows, on the one hand, to reduce the number of questions asked (hidden questions will use the provided default answer), and on the other hand, to provide the default answers separately, so that installation can be non-interactive. This last feature is known as preseeding. GOING FURTHER Debconf with a centralized database Preseeding allows to provide a set of answers to Debconf questions at installation time, but these answers are static and do not evolve as time passes. Since already-installed machines may need upgrading, and new answers may become required, the /etc/debconf.conf configuration file can be set up so that Debconf uses external data sources (such as an LDAP directory server, or a remote file mounted via NFS or Samba). Several external data sources can be defined at the same time, and they complement one another. The local database is still used (for read-write access), but the remote databases are usually restricted to reading. The debconf.conf(5) manual page describes all the possibilities in detail. 12.3.2.1. Using a Preseed File There are several places where the installer can get a preseeding file: • in the initrd used to start the machine; in this case, preseeding happens at the very beginning of the installation, and all questions can be avoided. The file just needs to be called preseed.cfg and stored in the initrd root. • on the boot media (CD or USB key); preseeding then happens as soon as the media is mounted, which means right after the questions about language and keyboard layout. The preseed/file boot parameter can be used to indicate the location of the preseeding file (for instance, /cdrom/preseed.cfg when the installation is done off a CD-ROM, or /hd-media/preseed.cfg in the USB-key case). 338 The Debian Administrator's Handbook
• from the network; preseeding then only happens after the network is (automatically) configured; the relevant boot parameter is then preseed/url=hp://server/preseed.cfg. At a glance, including the preseeding file in the initrd looks like the most interesting solution; however, it is rarely used in practice, because generating an installer initrd is rather complex. The other two solutions are much more common, especially since boot parameters provide another way to preseed the answers to the first questions of the installation process. The usual way to save the bother of typing these boot parameters by hand at each installation is to save them into the configuration for isolinux (in the CD-ROM case) or syslinux (USB key). 12.3.2.2. Creating a Preseed File A preseed file is a plain text file, where each line contains the answer to one Debconf question. A line is split across four fields separated by whitespace (spaces or tabs), as in, for instance, d-i mirror/suite string stable: • the first field is the “owner” of the question; “d-i” is used for questions relevant to the installer, but it can also be a package name for questions coming from Debian packages; • the second field is an identifier for the question; • third, the type of question; • the fourth and last field contains the value for the answer; note that it must be separated from the third field with a single space, so that the value can start with whitespace. The simplest way to write a preseed file is to install a system by hand. Then debconf-getselections --installer will provide the answers concerning the installer. Answers about other packages can be obtained with debconf-get-selections. However, a cleaner solution is to write the preseed file by hand, starting from an example and the reference documentation: with such an approach, only questions where the default answer needs to be overridden can be preseeded; using the priority=critical boot parameter will instruct Debconf to only ask critical questions, and use the default answer for others. DOCUMENTATION Installation guide appendix The installation guide, available online, includes detailed documentation on the use of a preseed file in an appendix. It also includes a detailed and commented sample file, which can serve as a base for local customizations. ➨ http://www.debian.org/releases/squeeze/i386/apb.html ➨ http://www.debian.org/releases/squeeze/example-preseed.txt 12.3.2.3. Creating a Customized Boot Media Knowing where to store the preseed file is all very well, but the location isn't everything: one must, one way or another, alter the installation boot media to change the boot parameters and add the preseed file.
