pmatulishow do i install a package to be used at the partitioning stage?  would this work?:16:53
pmatulisd-i partman/early_command string apt-install gdisk16:53
pmatulis(debugging preseed files can take such a long time i thought someone could propel me forward)16:54
cjwatsonapt isn't available at partitioning because the base system hasn't even been installed yet17:03
cjwatsonyou can use modules=something to install udebs17:03
cjwatsonbut you have to have made sure the appropriate things are actually available in udeb form first17:04
cjwatsonbest read something like the d-i internals documentation17:04
pmatulisalright thanks.  doesn't look easy17:06
infinityfwiw, there's no gdisk udeb, likely because you're expected to use parted, like everything else.17:54
infinitypmatulis: Is there a reason parted won't work for your usecase, or is it just that you're more familiar with the fdisk/sfdisk UIs?17:55
pmatulisinfinity: i was just pointed to parted by someone else, silly me17:58
