For those who do not understand German I answer in English. :)
I guess Karsten intended a private mail, but why not answering here?

Good idea.

Provided you have a reasonable fast network connection (starting with DSL)
just grab the Businesscard-CD-Image and burn the ISO image (you might also
try netbooting an image but I found out that fidling around with this network
book takes more time than just burning the image).

The questions you are asked by the installer.

The installer will do it for you.

For first installation I have build a private package for myself which
just depends from most stuff I need for my work.  Feel free to ask me in
private mail for this package.  This reduces a little bit the first research
for necessary things.  For the brave people there is also auto-apt.  If
you like this, just try:

   # apt-get install auto-apt sudo
   # visudo
     ... allow your user account to sudo dpkg and apt-get
   # auto-apt update

As user do:

   $ auto-apt -x -y run

Then call any program you like (mc, openoffice, ...).  The machine will
automagically detect whether a program is missing install and start it.
(Once I tried it with openoffice at a CeBit booth and auto-apt even detected
that I have a German environment and thus installed German support for
OpenOffice.)  I might add that auto-apt is not really the way to install
a machine, but it's a funny option.

Kind regards

         Andreas.
