Ist there something appropriate for Debian/Ubuntu?
For e.g. Focal release of Ubuntu, you would use this URL base (make sure
the initramfs and kernel filenames are the same, I didn't check):
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/focal/main/installer-amd64/current/legacy-images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/
For Debian, you can find the kernel and initrd.gz here:
https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/buster/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/debian-installer/amd64/
Thanks.
For a Red Hat installation, I can tell the initrd where to find the rest
of the installer by adding e.g.
inst.repo=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8/BaseOS/x86_64/os
to the kernel command line.
Is there a direct equivalent for Debian/Ubuntu? I've tried previously
and given up, because it seemed as though the only option was to create
a preseed.cfg file (which, in turn, seemed to require specifying a large
number of unnecessary other values in addition to the single repository
URL).
Thanks,
Michael
