## What it is
An unattended network installer for Raspbian on Raspberry Pi models 1B through 3B+ that installs a minimal base system from the latest packages. It boots from an SD card, wipes it, and installs a configurable minimal Raspbian system over the network without user interaction.

## Use cases
- install minimal raspbian on raspberry pi unattended
- headless raspberry pi os installation over network
- provision raspberry pi sd cards automatically
- set up ssh-ready minimal server on raspberry pi
- install latest raspbian packages without downloading full image
- bootstrapping raspberry pi for embedded projects

## When to choose
- you want a minimal, clutter-free Raspbian base installed automatically
- you need headless provisioning of Raspberry Pi 1B-3B+ with only Ethernet access
- you want the latest Raspbian packages at install time rather than a stale image

## When to avoid
- you use Raspberry Pi 4 or newer, which is unsupported
- you want a desktop environment or preinstalled software out of the box
- you need Wi-Fi-only installation without Ethernet
