You can choose to install any combination of tasks that are available. Available tasks as of this writing include:
• standard (standard tools)
• lamp-server
• print-server (print server)
You can also choose to install no tasks, and force the installation of a set of packages in some other way. We recommend always including the standard task.
If you want to install some individual packages in addition to packages installed by tasks, you can use the parameter pkgsel/include. The value of this parameter can be a list of packages separated by either commas or spaces, which allows it to be used easily on the kernel command line as well. By default, recommended packages will not be installed; to change this, preseed pkgsel/install-recommends to true.
To install a different set of language packs, you can use the parameter pkgsel/language-packs. The value of this parameter should be a list of ISO-639 language codes. If not set, the language packs matching the language selected in the installer will be installed.

# Some versions of the installer can report back on what software you have
# installed, and what software you use. The default is not to report back,
# but sending reports helps the project determine what software is most
# popular and include it on CDs.

# By default, the system’s locate database will be updated after the
