instance,
/cdrom/preseed.cfg
when installing from a DVD-ROM, or
/hd-media/preseed.cfg
when installing from a USB key).
You may not preseed answers to language and country options as the preseeding file is loaded later
in the process, once the hardware drivers have been loaded. On the positive side,
live-build
makes it easy to put a supplementary file in the generated ISO images (see section
9.3
, “
Building
Custom Kali Live ISO Images
” [page 241]).
With a Preseed File Loaded from the Network
You can make a preseed file available on the network through a web server and tell the installer
to download that preseed file by adding the boot parameter preseed/url=http://
server
/preseed.cfg
(or by using the url alias).
However, when using this method, remember that the network must first be configured. This
means that network-related debconf questions (in particular hostname and domain name) and
all the preceding questions (like language and country) cannot be preseeded with this method.
This method is most often used in combination with boot parameters preseeding those specific
questions.
This preseeding method is the most flexible one as you can change the installation configuration
without changing the installation media.
