Ubuntu

missing cdebconf & questions.dat file. Plz help

Asked by Fay

After i install Ubuntu 6.06 I try to change preseed values by running the command

debconf-get-selections --installer > file
debconf-get-selections > file2

But for the first command it searches for a questions.dat file in /var/log/installer/cdebconf/questions.dat but i dont even have a cdebconf in there. the second command actually dumps all the questions onto the file2 but that is not what im trying to achieve. I want to chnage the prseed values and then dump them there.

At the end all i want is to skip 2 questions that the installer asks so i can get an automated install.
1. choose partition scheme
2. the final install complete eject cd confirmation.

PLEASE HELP!

Trying to install multiple times helped. Wonder what went wrong in between. cdebconf got installed on my third attempt. After that i had to install debconf-utils<version number> package from the cd and that got me the debconf-get-selections.
