Thank you so much for your suggestion, Bob. Yes, I am using Ubuntu, I asked a similar question at ubuntu community but nobody response, it looks like few of active Ubuntu users are interesting for this topic. I also noticed that most of great posts about how to preseed an ubuntu system are based on Debian preseed mechanism, so I thought this question maybe has already solved at debian community, that is why I come here.
No mater what system, I am wondering has somebody successfully assigned a static IP address with preseed "d-i netcfg" ? Much appreciated if someone can give me a hint.
