How do you set the network-console DEBIAN_FRONTEND?
When I boot the installer with modules=network-console and ssh in, I get
the default frontend (newt). How do I switch to DEBIAN_FRONTEND=text?
From:
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch05s03.html.en
"DEBIAN_FRONTEND
This boot parameter controls the type of user interface used for the
installer. The current possible parameter settings are:
•
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
•
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=text
•
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=newt
•
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=gtk
The default frontend is DEBIAN_FRONTEND=newt. DEBIAN_FRONTEND=text may
be preferable for serial console installs. Some specialized types of
install media may only offer a limited selection of frontends, but the
newt and text frontends are available on most default install media. On
architectures that support it, the graphical installer uses the gtk
frontend."
EG:
boot install DEBIAN_FRONTEND=text
