Also it is good to know that you can use the preseed file to answer questions from any Debian package which is using the debconf interface, for example postfix.
===Starting How to start the preseed setup===
Simply download the Netinstall CD from a Debain mirror put it in your drive an boot the computer. After booting from the CD you should see the Debian Grub Boot menu. In this menu you should select the "Advanced Option" and in the follwing menu place your coursor on "Automated install" - '''but do not press enter!'''
Now press enter and continue the setup.
====Additional informations about During the preseed file=setup===
If the d-i faces a question where it founds no answer in the preseed file it will hold on until you answer the question. The d-i will not cancel the installation process. This is an interesting feature because you could use one file for different hardware setups. For example, if you have not configured that the d-i to always use the eth0 device during setup and there is more then one network card in your hardware, the d-i will wait until you choose one device. ====Some additional informations about the preseed file==== At our site we are using use different preseed files for different purposes. As example one preseed for VMWare servers etc...
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.
