Yes, that's correct. Using priority=critical leads to questions not being asked, if they have a reasonable default value; and the default value for the "tasksel tasksel/first" question is "Installing gnome desktop environment". So you get Gnome, if you bypass that question :-) "Adam Baxter" <deb...@voltagex.org> wrote: > > #The original didn't have this, but this stops the desktop environment being > installed. > d-i pkgsel/run_tasksel boolean false Setting tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard in your preseed file would also work (installing all "standard" packages, and that's it; would lead to what's often called a "minimal Debian system").
