I would like to make custom installations based on the "type" of machine
it will be (i.e. workstation, file server, etc.).  Is there a way I can
make a boot floppy that will set up the disk, set up the DNS, gateway,
etc., and the install only the packages I want from a list (rather than
having to select them all by hand)?  I can't really make a "master hard
drive" and use dd to duplicate it since I don't have the extra hardware to
spare for that - but I do have a large fs exported via NFS that I can use.

Any ideas??
