I downloaded the following image:
debian-6.0.2.1-kfreebsd-i386-CD-1.iso
I am still a bit confused as to whether one can use a pre-seed
file with that CD without remastering it or having to arrow
down. It is not that those steps are a big problem, but if one
is going to do a headless insta

I think it can be introduced on a USB stick or possibly
even a floppy although the USB stick method would work on just
about any P.C. made in the last 15 years. I understand that the
installer looks for drives plugged in to the USB ports and that
I just did a Google search on Debian Squeeze and
pre-seed files and found a document describing what all can be
placed in to such a file. What I did not see yet is a mechanical
description of how to introduce the file to the installation
process. I think it can be introduced on a USB stick

I am at work, now, but will have a go of all the things
you suggest and see how it goes.
What I will be accessing from is a command-line system
that has speech output so I can ssh, telnet or serial via Kermit
to the target system. I have a DHCP server running on a Linux
P.C. so I w
