Debian-installer is very flexible and (relatively) easy to modify. For example, I believe the s390 port needs telnet running quite early I believe, so you could look at this and adopt it for ssh or whatever you want. Also, if your network cards gets detected (which should be the case), the network will be configurated automatically via DHCP. You'd need to somehow preselect the language question, I believe this is possible as well. Debian-installer is currently being polished for the next Debian release. I suggest you help with the release in whatever way you can - afterwards, development can continue for less common situations like unattended installs. It's certainly possible, but the main focus right now is to get the release out of the door. You can always implement what you need yourself of course. Note that I'm not a paart of the Debian Installer team so this is not an authoritave answer in any way, I'm just trying to be helpful. cheers, Michael -- Michael Banck Debian Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.advogato.org/person/mbanck/diary.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
