d-i and DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
I found Joey's daily d-i builds;-)
I actually spent quite a bit of tine looking for something like it on
the website, and failed.
I didn't see anything specifically for diskless installs, so I burned a
CD-RW using the cdrom-2880.img file, but then discovered my test machine
won't boot the CD-RW.
Lacking better information, I setup my network boot to use vmlinuz
and net-initrd.gz.
btw It seems to me these daily builds aren't very daily:-\

Once I got to the menu, I tried to configure my network using DHPC. It
then looped with lots of messages about
Network Hardware Configuration
postinst exited with status 256
kmod: failed to exec sbin/modprobe -s -k eth0, errno = 2.
The network module I need is present, and when I "modprobe eepro100" it
loads.
Having done that, I find myself in static network configuration.
.
I typed a bunch of values, and all it does is loop over the questions.
It would, I think, be a good thing for d-i to parse "ip=" if present.
