I've tried this without success but I'm not sure what the problem is. Will this method work with DHCP? When the install script asks for my IP address I just used a made-up address that would be reasonable since I didn't know it. Second, what is the correct syntax to use when the script asks for the site, base, and location of the Debian files on the ftp site?
