| (*) Automatic install
\----------------------
This feature is used to replace redhat kickstart. It uses the kernel
parameter "automatic" with keywords separated with commas and colons, on
the following genres:
automatic=method:nfs,network:static,ip:192.168.1.24,server:192.168.1.7,directory:/stable/i586
automatic=method:ftp,network:dhcp,server:ftp.ciril.fr,directory:/pub/linux/mandrake-devel/cooker
automatic=method:ftp,network:dhcp,server:companyserver,directory:/mdkinst,user:XXX,pass:XXX
automatic=method:ftp,interface:eth1,network:dhcp,...
automatic=method:ftp,network:adsl,adsluser:XXX,adslpass:XXX,...
automatic=method:cdrom
automatic=method:disk,disk:hdb,partition:hdb7
The keywords correspond to each "virtual" question answered automatically,
either from a list or from a free field.
Keywords are:
`method' <- (nfs,ftp,http,cdrom,disk)
if nfs/ftp/http:
`network' <- (static,dhcp,adsl)
if multiple interfaces detected:
`interface' <- (list-of-detected-interfaces)
fi
if static:
`ip', `dns', `gateway', `netmask' (free fields)
elsif adsl:
`adsluser', `adslpass' (free field)
fi
if resolving fails:
`hostname', `domain' (free fields)
fi
`server', `directory' (free fields)
if ftp:
`user', `pass' (free fields)
fi
fi
if disk:
`disk' <- (list-of-detected-disks)
`partition' <- (list-of-detected-partitions)
`directory' (free fields)
fi
