I "installed" Debian a few times by tarring up a stripped down installation and untarring it in the / of the target computer - so, no installation is actually run. You just need to configure the few things that are different, but that shouldn't be a problem. If you floppy-boot the target computer and have network access running, you can untar directly over ssh without even copying the tar onto the target computer. Another approach: mount that target disk (flashcard?) on another computer and install from there. cheers -- vbi -- featured product: Debian GNU/Linux - http://debian.org
