This is supported by a separate Progeny project which is already in the Debian archives, called "autoinstall". PGI already pushes network and X server configuration to the debconf database on the target system. It wouldn't take much glue to take this concept farther, but it's a "second stage" thing. See Chapter 5 of _Creating Debian Installers with PGI_. http://hackers.progeny.com/pgi/guide/ -- G.
