Overall install:        [O]

Comments/Problems:
The installer says it tries to automatically select the network card with an active link, but I am not sure this worked correctly.
The machine has 2 Ethernet ports plus wifi, all were detected correctly but the installer selected the wireless interface as the default.

(and d-i netcfg/choose_interface select auto didn't seem to work).

A full desktop environment was installed without prompting but I think this is a side effect
of using priority=critical as a boot parameter.


Please make sure that any installation logs that you think would
be useful are attached to this report. (You can find them in the
installer system in /var/log/ and later on the installed system
under /var/log/installer.) Please compress large files using gzip.

I know this is the wrong way to do it, but d-i pkgsel/run_tasksel boolean false in my preseed.cfg was the easiest way for me to fix it.

Just the d-i netcfg/choose_interface select auto problem to go now.

This is possibly the wrong thread for it, IMO there needs to be a simple way to copy the SSH key/s provided by d-i network-console/authorized_keys_url to any/all created user accounts during installation, especially if I have d-i passwd/root-login boolean false set.

You should provide your preseed file and of course the
syslog from the Installation (compressed), to allow debugging.

Hi,

Yes, that's correct.
Using priority=critical leads to questions not being asked, if they have a
reasonable default value; and the default value for the "tasksel tasksel/first"
question is "Installing gnome desktop environment".
So you get Gnome, if you bypass that question :-)

Setting
	tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard
in your preseed file would also work (installing all "standard" packages,
and that's it; would lead to what's often called a "minimal Debian system").
