+### Network configuration
+# netcfg will choose an interface that has link if possible. This makes it
+# skip displaying a list if there is more than one interface.
+d-i netcfg/choose_interface select auto
+
+#d-i netcfg/dhcp_timeout string 1
+
+d-i netcfg/use_dhcp boolean false
+# If you prefer to configure the network manually, uncomment this line and
+# the static network configuration below.
+d-i netcfg/disable_dhcp boolean true
+
+# Static network configuration.

+### Mirror settings
+# If you select ftp, the mirror/country string does not need to be set.

+d-i mirror/country string enter information manually
+d-i mirror/http/hostname string debian.lcs.mit.edu
+d-i mirror/http/directory string /debian

+# Suite to use for loading installer components (optional).
+#d-i mirror/udeb/suite string testing
+
+### Partitioning
+# If the system has free space you can choose to only partition that space.
+# Note: this must be preseeded with a localized (translated) value.
+#d-i partman-auto/init_automatically_partition \
+# select Guided - use the largest continuous free space
+
+# Alternatively, you can specify a disk to partition. The device name
+# can be given in either devfs or traditional non-devfs format.
+# For example, to use the first disk:
+d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/discs/disc0/disc
+# In addition, you'll need to specify the method to use.
+# The presently available methods are: "regular", "lvm" and "crypto"
+d-i partman-auto/method string lvm
+
+# If one of the disks that are going to be automatically partitioned
+# contains an old LVM configuration, the user will normally receive a
+# warning. This can be preseeded away...
+d-i partman-auto/purge_lvm_from_device boolean true
+# And the same goes for the confirmation to write the lvm partitions.
+d-i partman-lvm/confirm boolean true
+
+# You can choose from any of the predefined partitioning recipes.
+# Note: this must be preseeded with a localized (translated) value.
+d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe \
+ select All files in one partition (recommended for new users)
+#d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe \
+# select Separate /home partition
+#d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe \
+# select Separate /home, /usr, /var, and /tmp partitions
+
+# Or provide a recipe of your own...
+# The recipe format is documented in the file devel/partman-auto-recipe.txt.
+# If you have a way to get a recipe file into the d-i environment, you can
+# just point at it.
+#d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe_file string /hd-media/recipe
+
+# If not, you can put an entire recipe into the preconfiguration file in one
+# (logical) line. This example creates a small /boot partition, suitable
+# swap, and uses the rest of the space for the root partition:
+#d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string \
+# boot-root :: \
+# 40 50 100 ext3 \
+# $primary{ } $bootable{ } \
+# method{ format } format{ } \
+# use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } \
+# mountpoint{ /boot } \
+# . \
+# 500 10000 1000000000 ext3 \
+# method{ format } format{ } \
+# use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } \
+# mountpoint{ / } \
+# . \
+# 64 512 300% linux-swap \
+# method{ swap } format{ } \
+# .
+
+# This makes partman automatically partition without confirmation.
+d-i partman/confirm_write_new_label boolean true
+d-i partman/choose_partition \
+ select Finish partitioning and write changes to disk
+d-i partman/confirm boolean true
+
+### Clock and time zone setup
+# Controls whether or not the hardware clock is set to UTC.
+d-i clock-setup/utc boolean true
+
+# You may set this to any valid setting for $TZ; see the contents of
+# /usr/share/zoneinfo/ for valid values.
+d-i time/zone string US/Eastern
+
+### Apt setup
+# You can choose to install non-free and contrib software.
+#d-i apt-setup/non-free boolean true
+#d-i apt-setup/contrib boolean true
+# Uncomment this if you don't want to use a network mirror.
+#d-i apt-setup/use_mirror boolean false
+# Uncomment this to avoid adding security sources, or
+# add a hostname to use a different server than security.debian.org.
+#d-i apt-setup/security_host string
+
+# Additional repositories, local[0-9] available
+#d-i apt-setup/local0/repository string \
+# deb http://local.server/debian stable main
+#d-i apt-setup/local0/comment string local server
+# Enable deb-src lines
+#d-i apt-setup/local0/source boolean true
+# URL to the public key of the local repository; you must provide a key or
+# apt will complain about the unauthenticated repository and so the
+# sources.list line will be left commented out
+#d-i apt-setup/local0/key string http://local.server/key
+
+# By default the installer requires that repositories be authenticated
+# using a known gpg key. This setting can be used to disable that
+# authentication. Warning: Insecure, not recommended.
+#d-i debian-installer/allow_unauthenticated string true
+
+### Account setup
+# Skip creation of a root account (normal user account will be able to
+# use sudo).
+#d-i passwd/root-login boolean false
+# Alternatively, to skip creation of a normal user account.
+d-i passwd/make-user boolean false
+
+# Root password, either in clear text
+#d-i passwd/root-password password r00tme
+#d-i passwd/root-password-again password r00tme
+# or encrypted using an MD5 hash.
+# at bottom #d-i passwd/root-password-crypted password [MD5 hash]
+
+# To create a normal user account.
+#d-i passwd/user-fullname string Debian User
+#d-i passwd/username string debian
+# Normal user's password, either in clear text
+#d-i passwd/user-password password insecure
+#d-i passwd/user-password-again password insecure
+# or encrypted using an MD5 hash.
+#d-i passwd/user-password-crypted password [MD5 hash]
+
+### Base system installation
+# Select the initramfs generator used to generate the initrd for 2.6 kernels.
+#d-i base-installer/kernel/linux/initramfs-generators string yaird
+
+### Boot loader installation
+# Grub is the default boot loader (for x86). If you want lilo installed
+# instead, uncomment this:
+#d-i grub-installer/skip boolean true
+
+# This is fairly safe to set, it makes grub install automatically to the MBR
+# if no other operating system is detected on the machine.
+d-i grub-installer/only_debian boolean true
+
+# This one makes grub-installer install to the MBR if it also finds some other
+# OS, which is less safe as it might not be able to boot that other OS.
+d-i grub-installer/with_other_os boolean true
+
+# Alternatively, if you want to install to a location other than the mbr,
+# uncomment and edit these lines:
+#d-i grub-installer/only_debian boolean false
+#d-i grub-installer/with_other_os boolean false
+#d-i grub-installer/bootdev string (hd0,0)
+# To install grub to multiple disks:
+#d-i grub-installer/bootdev string (hd0,0) (hd1,0) (hd2,0)
+
+### Package selection
+tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard
+
+# Individual additional packages to install
+#d-i pkgsel/include string openssh-server build-essential
+
+### Finishing up the first stage install
+# Avoid that last message about the install being complete.
+d-i finish-install/reboot_in_progress note
+
+# This will prevent the installer from ejecting the CD during the reboot,
+# which is useful in some situations.
+#d-i cdrom-detect/eject boolean false
+
+### Preseeding other packages
+# Depending on what software you choose to install, or if things go wrong
+# during the installation process, it's possible that other questions may
+# be asked. You can preseed those too, of course. To get a list of every
+# possible question that could be asked during an install, do an
+# installation, and then run these commands:
+# debconf-get-selections --installer > file
+# debconf-get-selections >> file
+
+
+#### Advanced options
+### Running custom commands during the installation
+# d-i preseeding is inherently not secure. Nothing in the installer checks
+# for attempts at buffer overflows or other exploits of the values of a
+# preconfiguration file like this one. Only use preconfiguration files from
+# trusted locations! To drive that home, and because it's generally useful,
+# here's a way to run any shell command you'd like inside the installer,
+# automatically.
+
+# This first command is run as early as possible, just after
+# preseeding is read.
+#d-i preseed/early_command string anna-install some-udeb
+
+# This command is run just before the install finishes, but when there is
+# still a usable /target directory. You can chroot to /target and use it
+# directly, or use the apt-install and in-target commands to easily install
+# packages and run commands in the target system.
+#d-i preseed/late_command string apt-install zsh; in-target chsh -s /bin/zsh
