Step 4: 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 5: 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:
