kickstart problems

[tuxico]

hello,
Thanks for your help Carl.
I read this wiki page, but it can be useful to avoid to use a CD to
boot, but after I need to use preseed or kickstart instructions for
the "hands off install".
And my problem is during the "hands off install", I can't create users
during the installation, with the kickstart style or the debian
preseed style.
Cheers
