I'm migrating a live-build-based ISO installer project from bookworm to trixie. I don't want *any* network configuration during the installer stage: everything is baked into the ISO.
But no matter what I do, I'm getting the "[!!] Configure a network using static addressing" dialog. The logs say, "Menu item 'netcfg-static' selected". Using this example ( https://www.debian.org/releases/trixie/example-preseed.txt) I've tried various combinations of: d-i netcfg/enable boolean false d-i netcfg/choose_interface select auto (and "none") d-i netcfg/disable_autoconfig boolean true (and "false") The only thing I've been able to do to get it to not do this static addressing thing is something like this: d-i netcfg/enable boolean false d-i netcfg/choose_interface select auto d-i netcfg/disable_autoconfig boolean true d-i netcfg/get_hostname string unassigned-hostname d-i netcfg/get_domain string unassigned-domain d-i netcfg/get_ipaddress string 192.168.17.76 d-i netcfg/get_netmask string 255.255.255.0 d-i netcfg/get_gateway string 192.168.17.1 d-i netcfg/get_nameservers string 192.168.17.1 d-i netcfg/confirm_static boolean true But then that gets written to /etc/network/interfaces, which I don't want. I guess I could remove it in late-preseed, but that's messy and I'd rather not avoid it. I tried looking back through the commit history and found this PR: https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/netcfg/-/merge_requests/13#f9ecdb0f1d83134d3082336c3a900fe04a6d8465 which seems sort of in the same ballpark, but not exactly as it seems more related to DNS and/or gateway settings. How can I get the installer to just NOT configure networking? -SG -- Seth Grover Everybody's angry Everybody's lonely And maybe it's hopeless and maybe Love is not enough But let's not rule out the possibility
