Package: preseed
Version: 1.11
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
The patch below adds NFS support to network-pressed. You can pass a
NFS path in the form of nfs://$host/$path/$file and network-preseed
will mount the NFS share and copy the file to d-i. Obviously, this
requires NFS support but this can be put on the initrd. I intend to
do this for Cobalt to allow SSH installations on machines without
serial console.
(I've no idea whether d-i has a program to generate a safe /tmp
directory.)
