Emdebian is Debian - get the Debian installer and install it. You can
choose an Emdebian mirror at that stage or upgrade Debian to Emdebian
later. For smaller machines, you need to create a custom installer.

The Debian installer for Lenny (Debian 5.0, Emdebian Grip 1.0) does
have a few issues with the pre-seeding. It may be simpler to just
install the smallest possible Debian (i.e. without Xorg), change the
apt sources to www.emdebian.org/grip and select the XFCE task with
tasksel.

>From the page you quoted:
"Download the relevant ISO image. Depending on your system, you may need
the small CD ISO (180Mb) or the mini netboot ISO (15Mb). Most testing
has been done with the small CD ISO image."

The page gives links to those standard Debian ISO images.

Grip is too similar to Debian to warrant spending the time creating an
almost identical ISO.

For those situations where a standard ISO is not suitable, we provide
the tools to help create a means of installation but these require
knowledge of how to manage and create such a method.
