You can preseed those too, of course.

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. #d-i preseed/early_command string anna-install some-udeb # network console sshd :) d-i network-console/password password r00tme d-i network-console/password-again password r00tme d-i preseed/early_command string anna-install network-console d-i anna/choose_modules string network-console # This command is run immediately before the partitioner starts.
