Most likely not.  There are several steps needed to install a working
main server, and they are hard to get right for non-experts.  Just
installing the packages is not enough.  You need to preseed, partition,
install packages, run cfengine setup, etc.  You can figure out all the
steps if you study the installation setup used by the CD. :)

Nope, and for the reason explained above.

I recommend using the install CD instead.
