You have to edit this boot menu entry by pressing the '''TAB''' key. Now you can append the '''URL''' option to the end of this boot line. Here is an example and a screenshot.
<pre>URL=http://yourserver:yourport/yourpreseedfile</pre>
Now press enter and continue the setup.
As example here is our preseed file:
<pre>FIX ME</pre>
===During the preseed setup===
All our preseed files are placed on a webserver but you should know that it is also possible to integrate the preseed process into a self made Debian installation medium.
==apt-proxy==
The Debian Netinstall CD covers only a minimal system. So if you need more packages like rsync or others you have to connect to the internet. Without choosing a Debian mirror during the setup, the setup could not continue. If you use Debian OpenVZ Servers and Debian based Virtual Private Server at your site, you should use an apt-proxy to cache the downloaded packages.
