Bug#249223: debian installer cd should offer a netboot install option for remote machines

[Adam Lydick <lydickaw@ruffledpenguin.org>]

(not quoting your quote, to avoid bloating up the bug report too much)
(snipped some discussion that my request would need "live cd" support
and really ought to support a more advanced install to avoid lots of cd
swapping)

#1: Regarding live cd:
Could the TFTP/DHCP/NFS server be squeezed onto a ramdisk instead? Can
multiple ramdisks exist on the cd?

#2: Regarding serving up the entire debian packageset.

This would be very cool. However, I usually just install the base system
to bootstrap, then install more from there once I have network access +
aptitude. It would be perfectly acceptable to just have such a simple
system to kick things off, as I could do the rest of the work from the
notebook.

#3: Extra bonus if this could integrate the various sysimage / kickstart
tools to automate the install process completely. That would be
fantastic for setting up a computer lab.

#4: Extra extra bonus if the config info could be pulled from LDAP.
(debconf seems to have some support for this already, although I haven't
tried to use it yet)
