HariharanCarlFK: xnox : The installer issue which I was talking other day for parallel installation of 17.04 and 16.04 from different folder location instead of ubuntu-installer (default) folder. Is resolved with the help of grub2-mknetdir command. It will rebuild the core.elf with new directory structure what we menion07:59

CarlFKI got my dhcp ... preseed problem solved too.  dnsmasq conf line: dhcp-option-force=tag:gator,209,"partman-auto/disk=/dev/nvme0n1 tasks=ubuntu-desktop"13:21
CarlFKgrub-net lines:13:21
CarlFKnet_get_dhcp_option appends ${net_default_interface} 209 string13:21
CarlFKsend that string as option 209, retrieve the string from option 20913:22
CarlFKlinux /ubuntu-installer/amd64/linux gfxpayload=800x600x16,800x600 --- auto=true url=dc10b DEBCONF_DEBUG=5 tasks="" hostname= interface=${net_default_mac} ${appends}13:22
CarlFKadd it to the kernel line.  di will look for it there.13:22
CarlFKgator is the host name and managed by dnsmasq: dhcp-host=40:8d:5c:7f:bb:90,set:gator,gator13:23
CarlFKso each mac can have it's own preseed tweeks.13:24
CarlFKinstaller shell - why does this work: ~ # chroot /target /bin/bash14:32
cyphermoxit should14:33
CarlFKbut this eats all the stdio?  when I type, I see chars, like "ls\n" but I see no output.    "exit\n" returns me to the busybox shell.  ~ # in-target /bin/bash14:33
cyphermoxoh14:34
cyphermoxyeah, because in-target does some fun redirections; you don't want to use it that way14:37
cyphermoxie. if you need an interactive shell, use chroot /target /bin/bash14:37
cyphermoxif you need to run a script, then you can certainly use in-target /bin/bash -c script14:38
CarlFKcyphermox: thanks - wanted to make sure that was expected/desired15:26
CarlFKpreseed install - when the installed os boots, I want to see the grub menu, and i want to see the syslog message or whatever is suppressed by quiet22:32
CarlFKI can't figure out the preseed's -  something like https://github.com/CarlFK/veyepar/blob/master/setup/nodes/pxe/shaz/var/www/d-i/xenial/preseed_video.cfg#L96-L9922:32
