Everything is working correctly without any issue totally unattended installation.
But during installation system step its starts to security update from the Internet even I have mentioned in preseed.cfg file that No automatic update with d-i pkgsel/update-policy select none
and failed at linux-image-3.14.0.34-generic steps because its not getting that package from the http://security.ubuntu.com due to lack of Internet in my setup.
How to resolve that error and continue without getting this error fully unattended installation.
Note: The option which is commented in the preseed.cfg and ks.cfg files that I have tried and test but nothing works.
Thank you so much in advance.
d-i pkgsel/update-policy select none
works at the pkgsel stage of the install now try un-commenting
d-i apt-setup/security-updates boolean false
please also see that your preseed.cfg includes
d-i pkgsel/update-policy select none
more than once
