base-config - Debian base system configuration |

!!DESCRIPTION |

|
| |
|

|
| |
|
22 |
__base-config__ is the program that was run when you |
| |
|
23 |
first rebooted into your newly installed debian system. It |
| |
|
24 |
walks you through setting up the system and downloading |
| |
|
25 |
additional software, and so forth. The program can be run at |
| |
|
26 |
any later date to walk you through essentially the same |
| |
|
27 |
process again. |

__base-config__ is implemented as a wrapper script which |
| |
|
32 |
runs each program in /usr/lib/base-config/, in numerical |
| |
|
33 |
order. If this is a fresh install onto a new debian system, |
| |
|
34 |
each program receives |
| |
|
35 |
__ |
| |
|
36 |
|
| |
|
37 |
|
| |
|
38 |
base-config checks the return codes of each of the programs. |
| |
|
39 |
Programs may return |
| |
|
40 |
|
| |
|
41 |
|
| |
|
42 |
Other packages can drop programs into /usr/lib/base-config/, |
| |
|
43 |
and those programs will become part of the base |
| |
|
44 |
configuration process. It is very strongly encouraged that |
| |
|
45 |
any such programs communicate with the user entirely via |
| |
|
46 |
debconf, so that the base configuration maintains a |
| |
|
47 |
consistent and professional look. |

Every base-config run is logged to |
| |
|
52 |
/var/log/installer.log. |
| |
|
53 |
|
| |
|
54 |
|
| |
|
55 |
/root/dbootstrap_settings, if it exists, is sources by |
| |
|
56 |
base-config and numerous environment variables set therein |
| |
|
57 |
are used to control base-config's behavior. The mere |
| |
|
58 |
presence of this file, which is created by dbootstrap during |
| |
|
59 |
a fresh debian install, makes base-config do all the things |
| |
|
60 |
it only does on a fresh install. |
| |
|
61 |
!!ENVIRONMENT |

|
| |
|
64 |
The following environment variables influence base-config. |
| |
|
65 |
These variables may be set at run time, or for new installs, |
| |
|
66 |
may be passed to the kernel at the lilo (or other |
| |
|
67 |
bootloader) command line. Consult your boot loader's |
| |
|
68 |
documentation for details. For example, lilo can be booted |
| |
|
69 |
with something like |
| |
|
70 |
|
| |
|
71 |
|
| |
|

__DEBIAN_FRONTEND__ |

By default, base-config deletes the debs that debootstrap |
| |
|
92 |
used to install the base system. This is useful on very low |
| |
|
93 |
disk installs. If you don't want that to be done, and prefer |
| |
|
94 |
that the debs be kept, set this variable to |
