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!'''
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.
<pre>URL=http://yourserver:yourport/yourpreseedfile</pre>
Now press enter and continue the setup.
====Additional informations about the preseed file====
At our site we are using 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.
