Yes, I see what you mean :-)
And I sometimes do just that (see below)

Yes, I have something like this (this is simplifyed) in my site/config.pl:
sub ask_hwprofile_preseed () {
print "\nChoose Machine Hardware preseed setup.\n";
my $ret = menu_choice
('No pre-setup for this hardware (continue)' => undef,
'Dell Optiplex 745', => 'z:\\site\\preseed\\dello745.txt',
'Fujitsu Siemens E3500' =>'z:\\site\\preseed\\fsce3500.txt',
'HP DC-5750 AMD FylkesavtPC' =>'z:\\site\\preseed\\hpdc5750.txt',
);
defined $ret
or return undef;
return $ret;
} # sub ask_hw_preseed
sub ask_swprofile_preseed () {
print "\nChoose Software preseed setup.\n";
my $ret = menu_choice
('No Software pre-setup for this machine (continue)' => undef,
'Internsone Standard (domene)', => 'z:\\site\\preseed\\mgkisone.txt',
'ExternPC No Domain', => 'z:\\site\\preseed\\externpc.txt',
'minimal test', => 'z:\\site\\preseed\\minitest.txt',
'Testinstall :-) ', => 'z:\\site\\preseed\\test-sw.txt',
);
defined $ret
or return undef;
return $ret;
} # sub ask_sw_preseed
my $hw_preseed = ask_hwprofile_preseed ();
if (defined $hw_preseed) {
print $hw_preseed;
$u->read (dos_to_host ($hw_preseed));
my $sw_preseed = ask_swprofile_preseed ();
if (defined $sw_preseed) {
print $sw_preseed;
$u->read (dos_to_host ($sw_preseed));
}
}
Basically:
First ask witch hw settings I want added to unattend.txt
Then ask witch software script(s) to run.
The generation of the final unattend.txt is as follows:
1: read the default unattend.txt
2: add or override the settings from site/unattend.txt
3: add or override the settings from the hw-select menu
4: add or override the settings from the sw-select menu
5: write the final unattend.txt to disk
as an example, the dello745.txt:
[_meta]
fdisk_cmds = "fdisk /clear
1;fdisk /pri:12288;fdisk /pri:100,100 /spec:7;fdisk /delete /pri:1;fdisk
/pri:4000;fdisk /activate:1"
fdisk_confirm=0
edit_files=0
OS_media = Z:\os\winxpsp2
[Unattended]
OemPnPDriversPath = "drv-dell\opti-745;drv-chip\wdm_178;drv-misc\kb888111"
and a example from the sw menu:
(mostly settings for skipping questions)
[Identification]
JoinDomain = my_domain
[GuiUnattended]
AdminPassword=secretpasswd
[_meta]
ntp_servers=""
local_admins=""
edit_files = 0
top = mgk-internsone.bat
middle = ""
;bottom = ""
Works for me :-D
