-This isn't quite as easy; and it seems to be because not all packages (notably [LILO]) choose to use debconf(1
) as their post installation question-asking tool. There was a great deal of debate by Debian developers about this, which appears to have been resolved in the [suggestion that people use debconf|http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#s2.3.9.1] in Debian policy.

Seems looks like you have four options.
# [FAI (Fully Automated Installation)|http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/] - This does an install off an NFS server.
# 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.
# [SystemImager|http://www.systemimager.org] - what appears to be a free Ghost for Linux, SystemImager is software that automates Linux installs, software distribution, and production deployment.
# [replicator|http://replicator.sourceforge.net/] - Designed for potato. Outdated.
