Re: [orca-list] talking gdm with orca in fedora

[Jude DaShiell <jdashiel shellworld net>]

Those scripts were known as kickstart scripts before they were renamed 
to anaconda-ks scripts.  There is a kickstart foundation web page that 
supports kickstart for automating any and all technology architectures 
it can possibly automate.  One time I used a script stored on another 
web page to successfuly install a version of Ubuntu on a machine I have 
so even that is possible.  What I'd like to know though are the details 
for setting up and then invoking a kickstart script from a floppy disk 
though.  I could have lots of fun with that.
