Precedence: bulk

	The /etc/sysconfig file should be machine genereated instead of on
	the install media as a part of the install set.

	That way the machine generation can take an existing /etc/sysconfig
	into account.

All this and more is already solved in Windows NT.  Why reinvent the
motor?  (I would say wheel, but the design is more involved than that.)
