one simple way , you need not tweak stuff so complex , just put the vmlinuz(or the linux) and the initrd.gz in the flash , boot it and install the system via internet . Notes: pls take care of the D-I(debian installer), you should choose the right installer so that it use the internet not the cdrom I think the linux and initrd.gz in the below link are fine(I haven't test it yet :-) ): http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
