IMHO we need to find a way to have d-i work like our current install.sh, i.e. A) but be small. I could also imagine install2.sh to become a 3liner that downloads the d-i and then executes it with some extra parameters. There is no way to have the FreeRunner mounted as some kind of a USB disk, is there? This might present some extra options, i.e. the d-i is executed on the host PC, but I don't know if I want that.
