The last certainly is possible using debian-cd and in fact is the way we will create a special netinst CD for the Etch+1/2 release that is overdue. However, doing so yourself is far from trivial I'm afraid. It is possible without any adjustment to install Etch using a Lenny beta2 businesscard CD image. Just boot the installer with 'suite=etch' as extra boot parameter. That is however not self-contained but will install the target system using a network mirror. Cheers, FJP
