moin moin Richard,
look at zeroconf. Both machines can independently setup networking to talk
to each other.
I believe zeroconf came up somehow recently on a new box until I fixed the
network cable, so it's likely an option during install.
ciao,

I wish to connect two laptops via Ethernet.
The Debian machine is having various configurations of Jessie installed.
Consider it a laboratory experiment. It can have multiple installs in a day.
It intentionally has *NO* internet connectivity. It has a small partition set
aside for preseed.cfg and miscellaneous scripts.
The second machine is running WinXP Pro SP3 and serves as source of preseed
and script files.
My internet searches turn up too much outdated information and/or fine
detail. Most link assume a server with multiple clients. Better description
would be a peer to peer setup. It may be convenient to have the Windows
machine act as a terminal for the Debian machine.
Suggested search terms or links.
Thank you.
