How to use and setup preseeding
I am trying to get a debian disk to do the following automatically:
- install debian base
- configure virtualbox repo and add the repository's key
- install virtualbox, xserver-xorg*, lxpanel, and slim.
- Configure a few things;
Change the following lines in /etc/slim.conf
#default_user simon
#auto_login no
to
default_user root
auto_login yes
and add the following lines to /etc/xdg/openbox/autostart
lxpanel&
virtualbox&
I know this can be done with preseed[ing], but can't find any guides to do it.
If it matters, I am trying to install from usb
debian preseed

How are you doing the install? eg via local network, over the internet, from a USB device, via a DVD?
