 # popular and include it on CDs.

 ### Boot loader installation
 # Grub is the default boot loader (for x86). If you want lilo installed
 # instead, uncomment this:
 #d-i grub-installer/skip boolean true
 # To also skip installing lilo, and install no bootloader, uncomment this
 # too:
 #d-i lilo-installer/skip boolean true

 # This is fairly safe to set, it makes grub install automatically to the MBR
 # if no other operating system is detected on the machine.
 d-i grub-installer/only_debian boolean true

 # This one makes grub-installer install to the MBR if it also finds some other
 # OS, which is less safe as it might not be able to boot that other OS.
 #d-i grub-installer/with_other_os boolean true

 # Alternatively, if you want to install to a location other than the mbr,
 # uncomment and edit these lines:
 #d-i grub-installer/only_debian boolean false
 #d-i grub-installer/with_other_os boolean false
 #d-i grub-installer/bootdev  string (hd0,0)
 # To install grub to multiple disks:
 #d-i grub-installer/bootdev  string (hd0,0) (hd1,0) (hd2,0)

 #d-i grub-installer/password-again password r00tme

 #d-i grub-installer/password-crypted password [MD5 hash]

 ### Finishing up the installation
 # During installations from serial console, the regular virtual consoles
 # (VT1-VT6) are normally disabled in /etc/inittab. Uncomment the next
 # line to prevent this.
 #d-i finish-install/keep-consoles boolean true

 # Avoid that last message about the install being complete.
 d-i finish-install/reboot_in_progress note

 # This will prevent the installer from ejecting the CD during the reboot,
 # which is useful in some situations.
 #d-i cdrom-detect/eject boolean false

 # This is how to make the installer shutdown when finished, but not
 # reboot into the installed system.
 #d-i debian-installer/exit/halt boolean true
 # This will power off the machine instead of just halting it.
 #d-i debian-installer/exit/poweroff boolean true

 ### Preseeding other packages
 # Depending on what software you choose to install, or if things go wrong
 # during the installation process, it's possible that other questions may
 # be asked. You can preseed those too, of course. To get a list of every
 # possible question that could be asked during an install, do an
 # installation, and then run these commands:
 #   debconf-get-selections --installer > file
 #   debconf-get-selections >> file


 #### Advanced options
 ### Running custom commands during the installation
 # d-i preseeding is inherently not secure. Nothing in the installer checks
 # for attempts at buffer overflows or other exploits of the values of a
 # preconfiguration file like this one. Only use preconfiguration files from
 # trusted locations! To drive that home, and because it's generally useful,
 # here's a way to run any shell command you'd like inside the installer,
 # automatically.

 # This first command is run as early as possible, just after
 # preseeding is read.
 # Prevent packaged version of VirtualBox Guest Additions being installed:
 d-i preseed/early_command string sed -i \
   '/in-target/idiscover(){/sbin/discover|grep -v VirtualBox;}' \
   /usr/lib/pre-pkgsel.d/20install-hwpackages

 # This command is run just before the install finishes, but when there is
 # still a usable /target directory. You can chroot to /target and use it
 # directly, or use the apt-install and in-target commands to easily install
 # packages and run commands in the target system.

	# Avoid that last message about the install being complete.
	d-i finish-install/reboot_in_progress note

	# This will prevent the installer from ejecting the CD during the reboot,
	# which is useful in some situations.
	#d-i cdrom-detect/eject boolean false

	# This is how to make the installer shutdown when finished, but not
	# reboot into the installed system.
	#d-i debian-installer/exit/halt boolean true
	# This will power off the machine instead of just halting it.
	#d-i debian-installer/exit/poweroff boolean true

	### Preseeding other packages
	# Depending on what software you choose to install, or if things go wrong
	# during the installation process, it's possible that other questions may
	# be asked. You can preseed those too, of course. To get a list of every
	# possible question that could be asked during an install, do an
	# installation, and then run these commands:
	# debconf-get-selections --installer > file
	# debconf-get-selections >> file


	#### Advanced options
	### Running custom commands during the installation
	# d-i preseeding is inherently not secure. Nothing in the installer checks
	# for attempts at buffer overflows or other exploits of the values of a
	# preconfiguration file like this one. Only use preconfiguration files from
	# trusted locations! To drive that home, and because it's generally useful,
	# here's a way to run any shell command you'd like inside the installer,
	# automatically.

	# This first command is run as early as possible, just after
	# preseeding is read.
	# Prevent packaged version of VirtualBox Guest Additions being installed:
	d-i preseed/early_command string sed -i \
	'/in-target/idiscover(){/sbin/discover\|grep -v VirtualBox;}' \
	/usr/lib/pre-pkgsel.d/20install-hwpackages

	# This command is run just before the install finishes, but when there is
	# still a usable /target directory. You can chroot to /target and use it
	# directly, or use the apt-install and in-target commands to easily install
	# packages and run commands in the target system.
