Subject: [DNG] Error in Chimaera automated install mode, workaround included
I have recently been trying to use the standard network installer for
Chimaera (netinst, 4.0) in an automated installation with the kernel
parameters

      auto=true url=https://server.example.com


There is an error in the installer which causes the path for the
preseed.cfg file to be miscalculated as

      http://server.example.com/d-i/bullseye/./preseed.cfg


rather than the documented

      http://server.example.com/d-i/chimaera/./preseed.cfg


Fortunately, adding a symlink in the web document tree (or a URL
rewrite in the reques processing) works around the problem.

Best wishes
