Step 6: Download the Debian installer
The netboot version of the Debian installer is not on the ISO media. Download it and copy it to the
/opt/repository/boot/Debian5-i386Boot directory.
A plain text mode version of the installer is available from the following web address:
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-
i386/current/images/netboot/debian-installer/i386/initrd.gz (RAM disk)
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-
i386/current/images/netboot/debian-installer/i386/linux (Debian kernel)
A graphical version of the installer is available from the following web address:
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-
i386/current/images/netboot/gtk/debian-installer/i386/initrd.gz (RAM disk)
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-
i386/current/images/netboot/gtk/debian-installer/i386/linux (Debian kernel)
Step 7: Download any .udeb packages needed for hardware support
Unlike the initrd provided with the Debian CD/DVD, the initrd used for netbooting does not
include all the drivers needed to support various hardware components, such as SATA or CD-ROM.
The following table lists the directories under /lib/modules/*/kernel/drivers that are present
in the CD/DVD initrd and netboot initrd:
