<title>Automatic Installation</title>
<para>
For installing on multiple computers it's possible to do fully
automatic installations. &debian; packages intended for this include
<classname>fai-quickstart</classname>, which can use an install server
(have a look at the
<ulink url="http://fai-project.org">FAI home page</ulink> for detailed
information) and the &debian; Installer itself.
</para><para>
The FAI project also provides
<ulink url="http://fai-project.org/FAIme">a web service</ulink>
for creating customized unattended installation ISO images with only a
few clicks. You can choose the desktop environment, the language, the
release, set the password and add your own list of additional
packages. After a few minutes your can download and boot the image,
that will do the fully automatic installation without any interaction
needed. Some more advanced settings are available for Linux experts.
