Can you comment on the missing "$tree" in the seed file and
how we can
get the preseed and/or kernel options to reference the install source?
This was from Friday's comment.
The value I get out from
cobbler profile dumpvars --name=debian-xxx
seems sensible, although the actual symlink on filesystem is wrong and points
just to top ks_mirror. It might be because the code I'm using now is a
bit evolved
respect to current git contents.
Anyway, and despite the fact that the kernel/initrd from cd might not
be prepared
for network install, there is plenty of work required for even partly
automated installs.
For example, the simple
url --url=$tree
statement in the kickstart sample is far away from debian's
counterpart. FIrst of all,
in the preseed the url is actually splitted in three different parts:
the protocol, the
host and the directory. Right now I cannot perform any test at work,
and I'm under
relocation so very little chance at home. I'll perform some install
tests as soon as
I'm able to, but it will not be for a few days.
