Hi Folks,
Well, I've been trying to do a remote install onto a server (Supermicro
X8SIE-LN4F motherboard) - booting via PXE, and using a serial-over-IP
terminal provided by the IPMI board.
Took a bit to get it mostly working - DHCP, TFTP, PXE, net boot all work.
The serial-over-ip ter

I remember reading somewhere that there is a way to set up a
configuration file which Debian-Installer can read (so, essentially,
you pre-select all of your answers). I have never done this myself, so
I cannot tell you anything else. I think I read it on debian.org, if
that helps.
I am not sure t

I want to install Debian Sarge onto it. The only person near enough to
do it has no computer experience, although I've convinced them &
they're willing to do
Hello,
Some time ago I did a successful remote install of Debian overtop of
RH9. I took copious notes. This time, however, I am unable to get the
install to work. I have tried two different methods.
(1) using http://twiki.iwethey.org/Main/DebianChrootInstall
while running dpkg-reconfigure
After only a few botched attempts I managed to convert my RedHat server to
Debian...remotely. Much thanks to Karsten and Azhrarn for their helpful
emails (and their original HOWTOs).
My install notes are at:

Hi everyone,
I've just leased some (redhat) rack space. I'd like to do a remote install
of debian. I'm currently reading
http://trilldev.sourceforge.net/files/remotedeb.html
and am wondering if anyone can recommend any other HOWTOs.
thanks,

OK, so I nuked a partition and started building a new Debian
installation using a floppy disk to boot from.
I'm trying to put together something here that I can have someone use to
boot a computer 1,000 miles away and I can use SSH to install everything
else necessary to turn that computer int
The computer science department at my university has many Linux
boxes. Say, on the order of 100. Almost all these boxes run
RedHat (not Debian, but read on).
I don't like RedHat that much: for example, RedHat 7.0 ships
with broken kernel headers, an unreleased and unsupported

Once you've reformatted /dev/hda, how do you transfer and unzip the base
system?

How does one put packages on floppies for a remote install (no cdrom, no
ftp, no uucp, no nothing)? Can dos floppies be usd, or do they need to
be rawritten splits of some kind in unix binary format to floppies?
Any pointers to floppy installs appreciated!
Thanks
