Re: installing via serial console

[Boris Daix <Boris Daix insa-lyon fr>]

I installed few Debian Woody this summer, with a braille display and
boot floppies tuned to run BRLTTY. You say "no kickstart stuff" and
you're wrong, look for FAI, among others. It's not as easy as
kickstart but it exists - Debian isn't as easy as redhat anyway.
