Hello,
I would like to create a preseed of debian that is going to create 3 partitions :
- a ext4 of around 8G mounted at /
- a swap of 1G
- the rest forming a partition not mounted.
I can't get to configure that last partition. I suppose that I should be using the method{ keep } in partman but I was not able to make it work.
Here is my current preseed configuration (with that last partition mounted to make it work) :

Does anyone know how to use the method keep, or have a idea on how to go around that issue.
Thanks a lot.
Have a nice day.
