I am joining this thread late, so I don't know if anyone has brought
this up, but I have recently been quite impressed by the KickStart
option when installing RedHat 7.2/7.3.  Using this I can boot from an
install CD and specify:

linux ks=http://1.1.1.1:80/ks.cfg

as the LILO command, and it will automagically install and configure
all the packages specified in that file (as well as other config info
also in ks.cfg).

Is there something like this for Debian?
