+d-i keymap select us
+# d-i keyboard-configuration/toggle select No toggling
+### Network configuration
+# Disable network configuration entirely. This is useful for cdrom
+# installations on non-networked devices where the network questions,
+# warning and long timeouts are a nuisance.
+#d-i netcfg/enable boolean false
+# 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
+# To pick a particular interface instead:
+#d-i netcfg/choose_interface select eth1
+# To set a different link detection timeout (default is 3 seconds).
+# Values are interpreted as seconds.
+#d-i netcfg/link_detection_timeout string 10
+# If you have a slow dhcp server and the installer times out waiting for
+# it, this might be useful.
+#d-i netcfg/dhcp_timeout string 60
+#d-i netcfg/dhcpv6_timeout string 60
+# If you prefer to configure the network manually, uncomment this line and
+# the static network configuration below.
+#d-i netcfg/disable_autoconfig boolean true
+# If you want the preconfiguration file to work on systems both with and
+# without a dhcp server, uncomment these lines and the static network
+# configuration below.

+# from being shown, even if values come from dhcp.
+d-i netcfg/get_hostname string unassigned-hostname
+d-i netcfg/get_domain string unassigned-domain
+# If you want to force a hostname, regardless of what either the DHCP
+# server returns or what the reverse DNS entry for the IP is, uncomment
+# and adjust the following line.

+# Disable that annoying WEP key dialog.
+d-i netcfg/wireless_wep string
+# The wacky dhcp hostname that some ISPs use as a password of sorts.

+# change to false to disable asking.
+#d-i hw-detect/load_firmware boolean true
+### Network console
+# Use the following settings if you wish to make use of the network-console
+# component for remote installation over SSH. This only makes sense if you
+# intend to perform the remainder of the installation manually.
+#d-i anna/choose_modules string network-console
+#d-i network-console/authorized_keys_url string http://10.0.0.1/openssh-key

+### Partitioning
+## Partitioning example
+# If the system has free space you can choose to only partition that space.
+# This is only honoured if partman-auto/method (below) is not set.
+#d-i partman-auto/init_automatically_partition select biggest_free
+# Alternatively, you may specify a disk to partition. If the system has only
+# one disk the installer will default to using that, but otherwise the device
+# name must be given in traditional, non-devfs format (so e.g. /dev/hda or
+# /dev/sda, and not e.g. /dev/discs/disc0/disc).
+# For example, to use the first SCSI/SATA hard disk:
+#d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/sda
+# In addition, you'll need to specify the method to use.
+# The presently available methods are:
+# - regular: use the usual partition types for your architecture
+# - lvm:     use LVM to partition the disk
+# - crypto:  use LVM within an encrypted partition
+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-lvm/device_remove_lvm boolean true
+# The same applies to pre-existing software RAID array:
+d-i partman-md/device_remove_md boolean true
+# And the same goes for the confirmation to write the lvm partitions.
+d-i partman-lvm/confirm boolean true
+d-i partman-lvm/confirm_nooverwrite boolean true
+# You can choose one of the three predefined partitioning recipes:
+# - atomic: all files in one partition
+# - home:   separate /home partition
+# - multi:  separate /home, /usr, /var, and /tmp partitions
+d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe select atomic
+# Or provide a recipe of your own...
+# 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 ::                                            \

+#                      method{ format } format{ }              \
+#                      use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 }    \
+#                      mountpoint{ / }                         \
+#              .                                               \

+#              .
+# The full recipe format is documented in the file partman-auto-recipe.txt
+# included in the 'debian-installer' package or available from D-I source
+# repository. This also documents how to specify settings such as file
+# system labels, volume group names and which physical devices to include
+# in a volume group.

+## Controlling how partitions are mounted
+# The default is to mount by UUID, but you can also choose "traditional" to
+# use traditional device names, or "label" to try filesystem labels before
+# falling back to UUIDs.
+#d-i partman/mount_style select uuid
+### Base system installation
+# Configure APT to not install recommended packages by default. Use of this
+# option can result in an incomplete system and should only be used by very
+# experienced users.
+#d-i base-installer/install-recommends boolean false
+# The kernel image (meta) package to be installed; "none" can be used if no

+### 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 pkgsel/upgrade select none
+# 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

+#popularity-contest popularity-contest/participate boolean false
+### Finishing up the installation
+# During installations from serial console, the regular virtual consoles
+# (VT1-VT6) are normally disabled in /etc/inittab. Uncomment the next

+### 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 immediately before the partitioner starts. It may be
+# useful to apply dynamic partitioner preseeding that depends on the state
+# of the disks (which may not be visible when preseed/early_command runs).
+#d-i partman/early_command \
+#       string debconf-set partman-auto/disk "$(list-devices disk | head -n1)"
+# 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
