Very good idea. I prefer debian-autoinstallerWe're using Debian at work that gets installed on our client's systems and we would like to get to a point where we can insert a CD and walk away from it while Debian is installed. Thus far I've done this using boot-floppies, doing away with the front-end and use a shell script to replace it that sets some defaults such as harddisk info, networking info, etc, then use the debootstrap script and the 'woody' script to install the core and base packages. It's not a pretty hack but it works at least.
Then I found out about debian-installer so I was wondering if there is something available to do an automatic installation without asking any questions.
I did a search on this topic with the last being emails going alone the lines of "it's probably a good idea to have this kind of feature in debian-installer". Is this still the current situation or is more information available on how to go about this?
Any pointers are appreciated.
By the way, I tried using yesterday's snapshot of the netinst ISO and the installation didn't run. The base system gets installed, but it aborts because debootstrap wasn't able to find 'sleep' and there seemed to be problems with configuring some packages because dependencies weren't met.
Is there a formal procedure I can use to report these errors?
