It is frickin magic... The whole installer is broken down into configurable components and can be customized all over the place. We are doing automated installations, with pre-seeded answers to configuration options, for a production tablet device with custom packages and post-installation configuration. The debian-installer team needs big kudos for really thinking about what is needed for a great installation architecture. I've used AutoYAST. I've used Kickstart. I ain't going back.

You used AutoYaST? You have my sympathy.

Somewhere the KISS principle died in the middle of designing that thing.

I've heard of yAST (Suse 9.1, 9.2), but what is AutoyAST?

Prometheus: It's the SuSE implementation of Kickstart. It works, I can attest, but it's painfully overly complex, MHO.

As opposed pleasantly overly complex?

Or, perhaps,

painfully under-complex?
