    Is it possible to install a Debian system headless (no keyboard or monitor
    attached at any time)? A couple of possibilities come to mind.

      A 'kickstart' like install where a single CD installs a base system
      with all parameters such as partitioning, network, etc pre-defined.

      A boot image which is accessible via ssh or VNC over the network (I
      think Suse offers something like this).

    I've googled for Debian specific solutions but haven't found anything. I
    have done the 'kickstart' way using RedHat before.
