Because installs are too long and complicated.

  1. Answer all the questions and put the answers in a file.
  2. Set up DHCP so it feeds the file to the target machine when it boots.

# Depending on what software you choose to install, or if things go wrong
# during the installation process, it's possible that other questions may
# be asked. You can preseed those too, of course. To get a list of every
# possible question that could be asked during an install, do an
# installation, and then run these commands:
#   debconf-get-selections --installer > file
#   debconf-get-selections >> file
