Автоматическая установка Debian c помощью TFTP и DHCP.
Создаем папку
# mkdir /tftpboot/pxe/Debian
Скачиваем и распаковываем архив
# wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-i386/ current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz -O - | sudo sh -c "cat - | tar xzf - -C /tftpboot/pxe/Debian"
Уже в имеющийся набор софта добавляем раздел Dedian Preseed
