The sample.seed will produce a partly automated install (specifically, should not ask for language and keyboard), but the message about missing CD is very likely due to absence of network enabled initrd. If possible, try an ubuntu import, as the initrd is probably more versatile. In the case of debian, the netinstall CD will not be imported because it has only a isolinux directory, but as far as I remember there is a "heavy" network install CD that might work. Anyway, I'll investigate this. > Anyway, I've applied everything to devel and otherwise looks awesome. Thanks > very much for working on this! I've been revisiting the previous import code, and I'm working in a small refactoring that will probably re-enable importing of multiple distros at the same time, at the price of all of them sharing a single breed specified at command line, and will also make easier to add other distros.
