It is my understanding this is not technically true. If I had 100 identical machines, I would investigate the "make release" path and roll my own. I believe this gives you the ability to include a configuration file which auto-answers most if not all of the sysinsall questions. For a single machine, there is - or a least used to be - an "express" install option. I've never used it, so I have no idea how "express" it was.
