I figured it out: 

I copied the section from install.pl to my config.pl and edit'ed:

     my @oem_drivers = multi_choice ...
     my @retail_drivers = multi_choice ...

Just remember to return a @ array.


With this done I now got database that answers all the questions so 
when I want to do an install I just network boot and wait. Dont have to 
move a finger. 

All the real setup is handles on a webpage.


For each computer type we got, I create a hardwaretype, assign drivers 
and Text drivers (MassStorageDrivers) and specify a default partionscheme. 

All the drivers was entered into the system via a webinterface, so it is 
basically just some javascript that helps you assign to a hardware type.

For each default installation type I create a softwareprofil and assign 
softweare scripts to it. 

Like with the drivers the software scripts are entered via a 
webinterface, and assigne to each softwareprofil via some javascript 
interface.

For each individual computer you create an entry and  assign 
softwareprofile, hardwaretype, and specify if you want a diffrent 
partionscheme then the hardwaretypes default. 
The you can assigne extra scripts so that if you need a single machine 
to have some extra software you dont need to create a softwareprofile 
for that.  

The software script have set a priority so when the 
confil.pl script pull it out it is installed in that order. The priority 
is set globally and not for each softwaretype/machine

If anyone is intrested in seen the config.pl, conf-psql.pl, the 
html/php/javascript and the postgresql backend let me know. 



Regards,

Nils
