4.5. Automatic Installation

For installing on multiple computers it's possible to do fully automatic installations. Debian packages intended for this include fai (which uses an install server), replicator, systemimager, autoinstall, and debian-installer.

4.5.1. debian-installer

We have not yet refined automatic installs with the debian-installer, but here's the essence of how it would work:

Do a Manual install.

Save the answers from the debconf database, /var/log/debian-installer/cdebconf, into a file.

Put the file in a preseeding udeb.
