d-i netcfg/wireless_wep string # The wacky dhcp hostname that some ISPs use as a password of sorts. #d-i netcfg/dhcp_hostname string radish 

# If non-free firmware is needed for the network or other hardware, you can # configure the installer to always try to load it, without prompting. Or # change to false to disable asking. #d-i hw-detect/load_firmware boolean true 

Please note that netcfg will automatically determine the netmask if netcfg/get_netmask is not preseeded. In this case, the variable has to be marked as seen for automatic installations. Similarly, netcfg will choose an appropriate address if netcfg/get_gateway is not set. As a special case, you can set netcfg/get_gateway to “none” to specify that no gateway should be used. 

## B.4.3. 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 #d-i network-console/password password r00tme #d-i network-console/password-again password r00tme # Use this instead if you prefer to use key-based authentication #d-i network-console/authorized_keys_url http://host/authorized_keys 

## B.4.4. Mirror settings 

Depending on the installation method you use, a mirror may be used to download additional compo- nents of the installer, to install the base system, and to set up the /etc/apt/sources.list for the installed system. 

The parameter mirror/suite determines the suite for the installed system. 

The parameter mirror/udeb/suite determines the suite for additional components for the installer. 

It is only useful to set this if components are actually downloaded over the network and should match the suite that was used to build the initrd for the installation method used for the installation. Normally the installer will automatically use the correct value and there should be no need to set this. 

The parameter mirror/udeb/components determines the archive components from which addi- tional installer components are fetched. It is only useful to set this if components are actually down- loaded over the network. The default components are main and restricted. 

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

#d-i mirror/protocol string ftp d-i mirror/country string manual d-i mirror/http/hostname string ports.ubuntu.com d-i mirror/http/directory string /ubuntu d-i mirror/http/proxy string 

# Alternatively: by default, the installer uses CC.archive.ubuntu.com where # CC is the ISO-3166-2 code for the selected country. You can preseed this # so that it does so without asking.
