full automated installation preseed without any network connection?
 

Debian can be installed with internet access. Never configured automation. That is something to experiment with.

I want to install without network and automation.

Is it possible? Can you share a working preseed.cfg please?

Could you please give more details about what you want to achieve? I'd
install on a removable drive, boot the new system with it and cp -a
everything over.

If you need to do this on several (more or less identical) machines you
can create an image that you can just copy over.

Kind regards,
Andrei

What the OP means is using Debian Installer (d-i) with preseeding.

I personally use it for fully automated install over the network but
yes, you can use d-i with preseeding for off-line installation - think
CD/DVD or USB memory stick with a local .deb repository.

Yes, but depending on the installation media (netiso, CD or DVD) the
amount of packages you can install will vary.

Nope, sorry. Preseeding is still something in my "to-do" list :-) but a
sample template can be found here:
