Remote Network Installation

Usually you will find these on mirrors of the OS themselves. Like, Debian and Arch has alot of mirrors where you can just net install from.
Unattended Installation
Remote Network installation, but after installing the OS, shell scripts may also be ran to ensure the correct software and configurations are set. These installations require a Answer File to note what scripts are ran after installation.
