Re: Re: Preseed for Wheezy - Multi-disk Alternative
(...) Where did you get that impression? :-? The 'instructions' inside the installer state one disk. The examples on this website state one disk. The threads in this mail list state one disk.I have not experience but with out an example, I am not sure how to experiment. I think preseeding should be able to work with multiple devices and partitions, you will only have to use the right naming that points to the device (/dev/sda, /dev/sdb, and so on...) and maybe a bit of bash programming. Greetings, -- Camaleón I guess I could put multiple lines to configure files and see what happens, but my concern is that since the developers say singal disk, I may get it to work one time but there may be no guarantee that it will continue to work. I have no idea how I might use bash programming in this. What interaction would be useful this and where would the bash be used? ray -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
