[10:33] <genii> Hello, anyone here?
[10:33] <genii> I have some questions specific to this issue
[10:36] <genii> Well, I will state my questions anyhow so that the bot will record them at least :) Perhaps they are reviewed or some in this channel look at scroll when they come in.
[10:40] <genii> So: I am trying to create preseed or preconfiguration files for the purpose of a totally headless automated installation system. After extensive research into this the best method apears to be to do a regular install first from the cd. Then to create a preseed file by way of debconf-set-selections and debconf-get-selections
[10:45] <genii> However, the records necessary for this in /var/log/installation seem not to be present. Specifically, the cdebconf which is referred to by the man page. "sudo debconf-get-selections --installer" fails miserably for instance.
[10:47] <genii> So I suppose my main questions then would be: Is there some alternate location the installer records to, and if so, where? And: If during actual install the cdebconf info is actually being made but then deleted or removed afterwards, how to prevent this?
