An option to save current configuration parameter used on one machine
at the end of sysinstall back to the boot disk is a pretty idea. One can make
an installation floppy with default parameter by oneself, but it is a lot of
work. I would like to see this option in a new installation floppy.
For individual user, this is not useful. For a cluster admin, it is very useful.

Good thought,
