---|

212 | # an infinite loop if the mouse is not autodetected. |

225 | ### Preseeding other packages |
---|
226 | # Depending on what software you choose to install, or if things go wrong |
---|
227 | # during the installation process, it's possible that other questions may |
---|
228 | # be asked. You can preseed those too, of course. To get a list of every |
---|
229 | # possible question that could be asked during an install, do an |
---|
230 | # installation, and then run these commands: |
---|
231 | # debconf-get-selections --installer > file |
---|
232 | # debconf-get-selections >> file |
---|
233 | |
---|
234 | |
---|
235 | #### Advanced options |
---|
236 | ### Running custom commands during the installation |
---|
237 | # d-i preseeding is inherently not secure. Nothing in the installer checks |
---|
238 | # for attempts at buffer overflows or other exploits of the values of a |
---|
239 | # preconfiguration file like this one. Only use preconfiguration files from |
---|
240 | # trusted locations! To drive that home, and because it's generally useful, |
---|
241 | # here's a way to run any shell command you'd like inside the installer, |
---|
242 | # automatically. |
---|
243 | |
---|
244 | # This first command is run as early as possible, just after |
---|
245 | # preseeding is read. |
---|
246 | #d-i preseed/early_command string anna-install some-udeb |
