+### Partitioning
+## Partitioning example
+# If the system has free space you can choose to only partition that space.
+# This is only honoured if partman-auto/method (below) is not set.
+# Alternatives: custom, some_device, some_device_crypto, some_device_lvm.
+#d-i partman-auto/init_automatically_partition select biggest_free
+
+# Alternatively, you may specify a disk to partition. If the system has only
+# one disk the installer will default to using that, but otherwise the device
+# name must be given in traditional, non-devfs format (so e.g. /dev/hda or
+# /dev/sda, and not e.g. /dev/discs/disc0/disc).
+# For example, to use the first SCSI/SATA hard disk:
+#d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/sda
+# In addition, you'll need to specify the method to use.
+# The presently available methods are:
+# - regular: use the usual partition types for your architecture
+# - lvm:     use LVM to partition the disk
+# - crypto:  use LVM within an encrypted partition
+d-i partman-auto/method string regular
+
+# If one of the disks that are going to be automatically partitioned
+# contains an old LVM configuration, the user will normally receive a
+# warning. This can be preseeded away...
+d-i partman-lvm/device_remove_lvm boolean true
+# The same applies to pre-existing software RAID array:
+d-i partman-md/device_remove_md boolean true
+# And the same goes for the confirmation to write the lvm partitions.
+d-i partman-lvm/confirm boolean true
+
+# For LVM partitioning, you can select how much of the volume group to use
+# for logical volumes.
+#d-i partman-auto-lvm/guided_size string max
+#d-i partman-auto-lvm/guided_size string 10GB
+#d-i partman-auto-lvm/guided_size string 50%
+
+# You can choose one of the three predefined partitioning recipes:
+# - atomic: all files in one partition
+# - home:   separate /home partition
+# - multi:  separate /home, /usr, /var, and /tmp partitions
+d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe select atomic
+
+# Or provide a recipe of your own...
+# If you have a way to get a recipe file into the d-i environment, you can
+# just point at it.
+#d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe_file string /hd-media/recipe
+
+# If not, you can put an entire recipe into the preconfiguration file in one
+# (logical) line. This example creates a small /boot partition, suitable
+# swap, and uses the rest of the space for the root partition:

+### Preseeding other packages
+# Depending on what software you choose to install, or if things go wrong
+# during the installation process, it's possible that other questions may

+### Running custom commands during the installation

+# This first command is run as early as possible, just after
+# preseeding is read.
+#d-i preseed/early_command string anna-install some-udeb
