It is not exactly the same spirit as RedHat Kickstart configurator: it is aimed at replaying an installation, rather than configure a new one from scratch, so the interface and complexity of the program is much more lower: for each step, you may leave it in 'replay' mode (it will choose what you've chosen during install) or you may ask for a 'manual' mode. So, to use it, one needs first to do an install, at least with Build 533: [gc@bi ~] cat /c/cooker/Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/share/VERSION /ChangeLog/1.533/Tue Aug 14 14:40:25 2001// This install will save for you a file called `/root/replay_install.img', which will be the base for `drakautoinst'. You may then launch drakautoinst with drakxtools-newt-1.1.7-1mdk or later, and select the manual steps from the GUI: http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/drkauto.png After clicking on `Ok', it will save the modified auto-install floppy for you, and you may then replay your install. It is not yet "heavily" tested, but all the steps of the install seem to work correctly together with the replay/manual behaviour. (a bug in creation of bootdisk and setup of bootloader is corrected in CVS, use Build 534 or later if necessary) An extended documentation will come soon (after I come back from my extended week-end, Aug-15 -> Aug-20). Enjoy. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
