Description
It would be great if we could define multiple kickstart/preseed files, and assign them to different hosts and/or operating systems.
are you actually trying to solve #13?

No.
Preseed files change a little bit for each release. For example, karmic preseed is slightly different than intrepid or debian.
But currently there is no way to change the preseed for each release.
But it is a template after all, I've made a similar solution for RedHat e.g.:
if OSType== "debian" add this line etc
Can you think of use cases where it wont work?
I would really like to keep it simple with one template that works for everyone :)
I find that it would be easier to just input one preseed on the interface, instead of messing with the templates on the filesystem.
Either way, I was not aware I could make it like that. Sounds like a reasonable solution.

while you might be right that multiple templates might be useful, I aim to have as much plug and play as possible, allowing people to start deploying without the need to change the templates at all.
hence - if you have any improvements to the current preseed template, it would be welcomed :)
