Debian Auto Installer
====================

A script to create automated Debian Installation Key. I created it for my work.
 You can create bios, efi64 key or prepare files into a folder whitout creating 
key. 
 
 * init.sh : script to create USB key
 * preseeds : folder containing all preseeds files
 * partman_recipes : folder containinf partman recipes
 * syslinux/syslinux.cfg : Syslinux configuration file
 * conf/*.conf : "folder configuration" files


# Init.sh command line options

 * ``-a [amd64|i386]`` choose architecture for debian files (default amd64)
 * ``-b`` create key for bios boot architecture (default efi64)
 * ``-c --conf`` set folder configuration files (default conf/archlinux.conf)
 * ``-d device`` USB device like /dev/sdb
 * ``--debian-version`` debian iso version to download (default 8.7.1)
 * ``--repo`` repository folder (default ./repo)
 * ``--tmp`` Temporary folder used to create USB key to create directory tree 

Be careful : if ``-d`` parameter is define then the relative peripheral will 
be erased

Since syslinux files are placed differently depending on the distribution,
 configuration file (``-c``) contain directory to syslinux files :
 
 * __syslinux_mbr_bl_folder__ : folder containing mbr.bin
 * __syslinux_efi_bl_folder__ : folder containing efi64 folder
 * __syslinux_modules_folder__ : folder containing syslinux modules folders

## Examples

Prepare file in directory for efi system without writing an usb key for AMD64.

```
./init.sh
```

Prepare an USB key (/dev/sdb) for bios / i386 architecture

```
./init.sh -a i386 -b -d /dev/sdb
```

Prepare an USB key on Debian

```
./init.sh -d /dev/sdb -c conf/debian.conf
```

# How it work

 1. Create a repo folder then a subfolder named with debian version to 
    download then download debian iso, vmlinuz and initrt.gz.
 2. Create a temporary folder and copy all necessary files into it (pressed,
    partman recipes, syslinux modules...)
 4. If ``-d /dev/sdx``, unmount usb key( if mounted) and create partition scheme,
    format and  mount partitions
 5. Copy all content of temporary folder into mounted usb key.
 6. Enjoy!
