AutoInstall - This is a kickstart-alike config on a floppy system, but designed to be generated by a pre installed Debian system generating you a config rather than a bunch of questions in a configuration program. Developed by [Progeny]. See http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/users-guide/ap-ami.en.html for some configuration options.

Quick 'n' Dirty note: If you are quite happy to do a base install of debian manually (which is pretty quick), and just want to restore a system to the state it was in, in terms of the packages you had installed, a very cool tool is dpkg --get-selections>installed-packages.
On your freshly installed system, use dpkg --set-selections<installed-packages, and then apt-get -u dselect-upgrade.
