When you are installing Debian on 200 basicly identical machines, why
not install it on one box, then boot the others with a floppy, and
image the hard drive over an nfs mount? I've heard of a school that
maintains a room full of Windows PC's like that. When one gets
screwed up, they boot it to Linux and re-image the Windows drive from
a `dd' backup.
