That's interesting, but not an installer. It's a means to building a standard reference system repeatedly that then needs installing. I see one major problem with a pointy-clicky YaST/Ananconda type installer: who is going to write it? Who has that particular itch bad enough to scratch it? An automated installer is another matter, write a config file and point it at some bare metal using something like Ansible, to allow sysadmins to roll out systems with less fiddling. -- Neil Bothwick But there, everything has its drawbacks, as the man said when his mother-in-law died, and they came down upon him for the funeral expenses. -- Jerome K.
