I have a preseed file which works perfectly in that the install goes from start to finish fully automated without prompts.
However, I want to force a prompt for hostname and domain.
I have tried adding:
d-i netcfg/get_hostname seen false
d-i netcfg/get_domain seen false
However the installer just ignores this and I end up with a system with the default
debian
hostname etc.
netcfg/get_hostname
, d-i netcfg/dhcp_hostname
and netcfg/get_domain
are **not** defined in my preseed file.
If it makes any difference, this question relates to Debian 10.
