168 d-i grub-installer/with_other_os boolean true
170 # Alternatively, if you want to install to a location other than the mbr,

192 ### Preseeding other packages
193 # Depending on what software you choose to install, or if things go wrong
194 # during the installation process, it's possible that other questions may
195 # be asked. You can preseed those too, of course. To get a list of every
196 # possible question that could be asked during an install, do an
197 # installation, and then run these commands:
198 # debconf-get-selections --installer > file
199 # debconf-get-selections >> file
202 #### Advanced options
203 ### Running custom commands during the installation
204 # d-i preseeding is inherently not secure. Nothing in the installer checks
205 # for attempts at buffer overflows or other exploits of the values of a
206 # preconfiguration file like this one. Only use preconfiguration files from
207 # trusted locations! To drive that home, and because it's generally useful,
208 # here's a way to run any shell command you'd like inside the installer,
211 # This first command is run as early as possible, just after
212 # preseeding is read.
213 #d-i preseed/early_command string anna-install some-udeb
215 # This command is run just before the install finishes, but when there is
216 # still a usable /target directory. You can chroot to /target and use it
217 # directly, or use the apt-install and in-target commands to easily install
218 # packages and run commands in the target system.
219 #d-i preseed/late_command string apt-install zsh; in-target chsh -s /bin/zsh
