Hi Konrad, on the debian-b...@lists.debian.org there are people who are the most likely to be able to answer your question, but before asking there it may be useful to ask first on a debian user mailing list, where there may be people experienced with preseeding as well. I am not sure if it will work, but have you tried d-i base-installer/excludes ?

Debian Preseeding: prevent particular package from being installed
I am using Debian preseeding for automated installations (from PXE) in my preseed config file, I have the following line, to install only the minimum number of packages: tasksel tasksel/first multiselect d-i base-installer/install-recommends boolean false This however still installs some packages which I don't want. My question is: how does the installation script decide which packages will be installed? how can I modify this list? can I prevent specific package to be installed or, is there some other Debian mailing list, which would be more appropriate for my question? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
