Eu quero replicar as opções de instalação da Debian feitas para a configuração atual do meu sistema na instalação de um novo sistema.
O Debian pode ser pré-configurado através de um arquivo de "pré-configuração" (também conhecido como "preseed"), que basicamente contém as respostas para as perguntas que o instalador fará.
A documentação afirma que uma maneira de criar um arquivo de pré-configuração a partir de uma instalação existente do Debian é:
... use o
debconf-get-selectionspacote debconf-utils para despejar o banco de dados debconf e o banco de dados cdebconf do instalador em um único arquivo:
$ debconf-get-selections --installer > file
$ debconf-get-selections >> file
Mas, em seguida, acrescenta imediatamente:
No entanto, um arquivo gerado dessa maneira terá alguns itens que não devem ser pré-configurados ...
A documentação não detalha quais seriam esses itens que não devem ser preseed.
Alguém poderia elaborar?
A título de ilustração, abaixo incluo o segundo campo da saída que recebo dos dois comandos acima, onde mantive apenas as linhas que começam d-icom os comentários, às vezes truncadas por questões de brevidade. (O motivo para manter apenas as linhas de configuração iniciadas d-ié que, no exemplo de arquivo de pré-configuração fornecido pelo Debian, apenas essas linhas aparecem.)
