- The PXE installation uses {{{/srv/tftp/debian-edu/install.cfg}}} and the preseeding file in {{{/etc/debian-edu/www/debian-edu-install.dat}}}. These files can be changed to adjust the preseeding used during installation, to avoid more questions when installing over the net. Another way to achieve this is to provide extra settings in {{{/etc/debian-edu/pxeinstall.conf}}} and {{{/etc/debian-edu/www/debian-edu-install.dat.local}}} and to run {{{/usr/sbin/debian-edu-pxeinstall}}} to update the generated files.

  To disable or change the use of the proxy when installing via PXE, the lines containing {{{mirror/http/proxy}}}, {{{mirror/ftp/proxy}}} and {{{preseed/early_command}}} in {{{tjener:/etc/debian-edu/www/debian-edu-install.dat }}} need to be changed.  To disable the use of a proxy when installing, put '#' in front of the first two lines, and remove the "{{{export http_proxy="http://webcache:3128"; }}}" part from the last one.
  
- Some settings can not be preseeded because they are needed before the preseeding file is downloaded.  These are configured in the PXELINUX-based boot arguments available from {{{/srv/tftp/debian-edu/install.cfg}}}.  Language, keyboard layout and desktop environment are examples of such settings.
