Could we run it automatically at the first boot? So, the installation process may be: Boot install CD. It partitions disks, installs the minimal distribution set and does network and user configuration. Reboot. post-install utility runs, gives user the option of which distributions to install, followed by packages (or ports?) and does further configuration. I'm thinking of something like how Debian works (http://mikeoverip.wordpress.com/2009/03/11/debian-5-lenny-step-by-step-installation-with-screenshots/), though I'm not sure it does have a reboot step before configuration. -- Bruce Cran
