Re: Installing Debian remotely in an unmanaged VPS

Hello.
I'd like to install Debian in an unmanaged VPS which has Debian
installed already. This is so that I can customize the installation by
using LVM for instance. I'm following
<https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Remote> but it seems like I'd
have to keep an ISO image in the hard disk to do a HD-based
installation if I can't use a virtualized CD and hence would need to
keep at least one partition intact. Is there a way to avoid this?.
I suppose that it's possible—at least in principle—to build an ISO
image which is scripted to copy itself to a tmpfs and then
debian-installer can continue reading it from there rather than from
the hard disk directly (So that the hard disk can be modified without
the constrain of keeping the ISO). Are there instructions on how to do
this?.
Otherwise, is it possible to cram a complete Debian installer into a
initrd?.
Please point me in the right direction.
I found <http://www.centosx.com/install-centos-remotely-through-vnc/>
for CentOS. Apparently there are install images expressly configured
for remote installation for Red Hat based distributions. Is there
something similar for Debian?. If not, please consider my suggestion
to include this feature in a future release.
Regards and thanks.
