Hey thanks a lot!
Those already are exactly the d-i files I had in mind. I was additionally
thinking if those could be made available by tftp publicly, it would be a
snap setting up the local dhcp server to point to those (or to the PXE
bootloader for PXE capable clients respectively).
It is especially easy for people with cable/dsl routers to temporarily put an
URL for the PXE bootloader into their routers webinterface to install and
test debian without the need to write any static bootmedia.
People without webinterfaced routers could follow the dhcpd instructions on
http://wiki.debian.net/index.cgi?DebianInstallerNetbootPXE
or even a script maybe.
Cheers
Christian
