Plug a USB stick into a Linux machine.

Format the USB stick as FAT32

Copy an example preseed file to the USB stick.

Edit the preseed file as appropriate.

As Geert says above

Boot the install CD ROM - use the expert install.

It's not too complicated and is documented in the install manual, wiki.debian.org or, if you have a Debian system, install debian-handbook

Hope this helps,
