+Add a download url for the preseed file to the bootmenu in pxelinux.cfg/default. This can be served via nfs or web. Some things (like keyboard language) must be set in the 'append' line of the bootmenu - see above.
+If you preseed hangs and asks questions, you can switch to console 2 to see, what is going on.
+Complete pressed.cfg example:
+{{:linux:debian_install:preseed_demo.txt|}}
+===== postinstall script =====
+Some things are hard to preseed, so you run a script after the installer competes, inside the new system.
+Download the script and run it, with a similar command in the preseed file:
+  d-i preseed/late_command string in-target wget -P /tmp/ http://192.168.1.1/netboot/postinst.sh; in-target chmod +x /tmp/postinst.sh; in-target /tmp/postinst.sh
