4:44 AM EST 		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.

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

As opposed pleasantly overly complex?

Or, perhaps,

painfully under-complex?
