| phratman | cjwatson: What if I had a file (partitions.list) that contained sfdisk -d /dev/sda > partitions.list? Would I be able to read the partition table back in with sfdisk /dev/sda < partitions.list in that prepartitioned script instead of that hack? | 12:27 |

| phratman | cjwatson: What all can go in %packages? | 02:19 |
| phratman | cjwatson: Anything? | 02:20 |

| cjwatson | phratman: that's harder. Probably still possible but harder. Bits of the installer expect partman to have been used. | 08:37 |
| cjwatson | phratman: any of the @-things mentioned in the installation guide, or any package name | 08:38 |

| kwah | Hi everyone | 09:12 |
| kwah | Where can I find an information about what "Install with driver update CD" variant of installation for? | 09:13 |
| cjwatson_ | kwah: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Ubiquity/DriverUpdates | 09:56 |
| kwah | thanks. cjwatson | 10:01 |

| phratman | cjwatson: If you're still around, could you please take a look at this for me?: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/109475 (I added a comment last night) | 07:49 |
| cjwatson | phratman: both attempts to modify partitions= are wrong | 07:53 |
| phratman | cjwatson: Oh? | 07:53 |
| cjwatson | phratman: try putting 'set -x' on the line below the second #! /bin/sh (i.e. the one below the cat >blah <<EOF) and the resulting /var/log/syslog may be useful to me | 07:53 |
| cjwatson | the partitions variable is in partman's internal representation - it's not a list of device names | 07:54 |
| phratman | cjwatson: So in other words, I shouldn't be modifying it? | 07:54 |
| cjwatson | nope | 07:54 |
| cjwatson | the only user-serviceable bit in there is the case statement inside 'for partition in $partitions' | 07:54 |
| cjwatson | oh and the /dev/sda | 07:55 |
| cjwatson | I didn't write it for easy modification though - it was the quickest workaround that would let you do the autopartitioning you were looking for | 07:55 |
| cjwatson | also %pre --nochroot is meaningless, FWIW - the chroot isn't set up when %pre scripts run, so they're all effectively --nochroot | 07:56 |
| cjwatson | anyway, if you can get me a /var/log/syslog with set -x, that may help | 07:56 |
| === cjwatson -> dinner | ||
| cjwatson | (btw, part of the point for me in doing this is to learn enough to put something more sensible in place in the standard installer) | 07:57 |
| phratman | cjwatson: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/109475/comments/3 | 08:38 |
| phratman | cjwatson: Also with the kickstart configuration file, is there any easy way of adding another repository to the list? It currently feeds off a local repository as per the "Install from... {CD, FTP, HTTP, etc.}" tab in system-config-kickstart. However, now I need to add another repository. | 08:46 |

| cjwatson | phratman: use the local repository stuff in https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/installation-guide/i386/preseed-contents.html#preseed-apt with the 'preseed' kickstart command | 10:05 |
| cjwatson | phratman: re your syslog, it looks like you don't have a /dev/sda on that system? | 10:06 |
