Hello. We are on Packer mailing list, and most ppl will use it for server like boxes, so will be command line. For redhat, the way to install is: yum grouplist identify the group you want yum groupinstall -y "Nameofthegroup" Then, update /etc/initttab to 5 That will take care of the next run it will have a Graphical login. You can add users with scripts, you can install software with scripts, etc. So you should be able to create a boxthat when a user turns it on, they see a graphical desktop. What packer/scripts wont do, is run an graphical application and press buttons. Is normal practice in unix/linux that applications have configuration files in the filesystem you can update, is very rare one software that can't be configured by command line.
