-| (*) 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,directory:/cooker
-
-
-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)
- (if "auto", use the first interface with a link beat)
-
- 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
-
-
-
-You may use shorter versions of keywords (it helps reducing size of
-commandline), please find each keyword short-alias counterpart in file
-../automatic.c under the identifier named "short_aliases".
-
-This gives for example for:
-
- automatic=method:nfs,network:static,ip:192.168.1.24,server:192.168.1.7,directory:/stable/i586
-==>
- automatic=met:nfs,net:static,ip:192.168.1.24,ser:192.168.1.7,dir:/stable/i586

-
-You may specify a stage2 auto-install file, different from the
-default `auto_inst.cfg.pl' in install/, by filling the
-`bootfile' parameter of your DHCP server response.
-
-Note that if the name ends with `-IP' or `-IP.pl', IP will be
-replaced by the IP address given to the host, normalized to
-hexadecimal (that is, `192.168.100.57' would give 'C0A86439').
