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. DaGoodBoy |

You used AutoYaST? You have my sympathy. Somewhere the KISS principle died in the middle of designing that thing. |

cjcox: Man you got that right. |

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

Has anyone seen the Progeny Linux port of Anaconda? It is friggen nice! |

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

Paulie -- As opposed pleasantly overly complex? Or, perhaps, painfully under-complex? |
