A quick and dirty netinstall method for Debian

Requirements:

• An existing computer (or virtual machine) running Linux. Other unix variants may work, but no guarantees. You need root access.
• An internet connection. Duh.
• The target machine and your netboot server must be on the same vlan (Ethernet segment). If you're doing this at home, they probably are.
• The target machine must be connected to the network via wired ethernet, not wifi. PXE booting doesn't work with wifi.

For purposes of this document, I'm going to assume that you are installing Debian on an x86 or amd64 system.

#!/bin/bash -i
# Draws a mandelbrot set.
# Author: Benjamin Staffin
#
# Simulates floating point by using big integers.  Flagrantly uses two integers
# instead of complex numbers.  I couldn't be arsed to calculate infinity limits
# of logarithmic functions in bash, so this just uses escape time values for
# colors.

" You most likely want these set in your vimrc:
filetype plugin indent on

" These three are used by the indent function below:
let s:maxoff = 50 " maximum number of lines to look backwards.
let pyindent_nested_paren="&sw*2"
let pyindent_open_paren="&sw*2"
