Hi Douglas,

Did you know the installer can run non-interactively by giving it a
properties file as an argument?  Probably not, since it wasn't
documented :)  But now it is, on this page:
http://fedora-commons.org/confluence/x/wABI

We use this a lot for Fedora's CI tests, since they need to be run in
a fresh Fedora installation each time.

Try running it interactively first, making the choices you want. Then
look at $FEDORA_HOME/install/install.properties.  It should contain
things like the fedora.home choice, db choice, etc.  Modify it however
you want for your installer, then run:

java -jar fedora-installer-3.2.jar install.properties
