You will first need to create a preconfiguration file and place it in the location from where you want to use it. Creating the preconfiguration file is covered later in this appendix. Putting it in the correct location is fairly straightforward for network preseeding or if you want to read the file off a floppy or usb-stick. If you want to include the file on a CD or DVD, you will have to remaster the ISO image. How to get the preconfiguration file included in the initrd is outside the scope of this document; please consult the developers’ documentation for debian-installer.
An example preconfiguration file that you can use as basis for your own preconfiguration file is avail- able from ../example-preseed.txt. This file is based on the configuration fragments included in this appendix.
