Maybe I asked the wrong question earlier, but it comes from not knowing how the Debian installation works.
I have available a computer in a very remote (to me) location. It's well connected to the internet. I want to try and do a Debian installation on it, but am not sure how I can do this when there is no terminal access. I'm not sure, but I either need to mount a Debian iso as a loopback device, or manually drop the base.tgz file onto the hard drive. I don't think the iso will work as the typical installation will ask me to configure the network, which should already be running. So, maybe the question is this: How do I manually install the base configuration and manually edit *what* files? I believe I may be able to use something like LRP to get initial access to the computer, fdisk, copy files, edit configs. After that, I would cross my fingers and reboot to the hard drive. What is executed when you first install Debian? What's the name of the script that goes through and asks all the fdisk, mount, network information? If nothing else, I can read the code and take it from there - but I don't know it's name. help? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
