Your preseed.cfg is misformatted: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~>debconf-set-selections < preseed.cfg error: parse error on line 267: 'ent and received directly using SMTP' zsh: exit 1 debconf-set-selections < preseed.cfg This appears to be a simple line wrap mistake. Note that preseed is much less picky about this than debconf-set-selections, since it's implemented in a much less capable language where checking everything that debconf-set-selections does would be hard. -- see shy jo
