from https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/apbs02.html.en#preseed-dhcp if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 3) = "d-i" { filename "http://host/preseed.cfg"; } > I'm really desperated. I think that you didn't know that there a two DHCP requests during a netboot install. One from the bootROM and one from debian-installer. ( CDROM (and USB memory stick) installs only have the d-i DHCP request ) Make sure that your d-i client gets http://192.168.1.1/mountpointisodebian/preseed/myfile.seed from your DHCP server. Then you can avoid APPEND url=http://192.168.1.1/mountpointisodebian/preseed/myfile.seed ... > Thanks!!!! You are welcome. Reporting your milage would be nice.
