You are right -- I was focusing on the disk partitioning and Debian 
installation steps.  The d-i rescue shell has a limited set of tools for 
general system administration chores.


For "everything else", I install Debian onto a USB flash drive and then 
add my favorite packages, hosts file, profile, scripts, libraries, etc.. 
 This gives me the control and flexibility of a complete Debian system, 
and I don't have to climb yet another learning curve.
