The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: SysConfig
DSLIP: adpOa
description: Class for describing system configuration
userid: PATRICK (Patrick Devine)
chapterid: 23 (Miscellaneous_Modules)
communities:
comp.lang.perl
similar:
none
rationale:
Designing an operating system installer can be a fairly daunting
and complex task. There are a myriad of ways to install a computer
including installing a set of packages, a set of files (such as from
a tarball) or even straight bit-for-bit disk imaging. Ultimately,
however, each one of those installation methods have a number of
different pieces of common configuration data, such as network
address settings, mouse and keyboard settings or even file
partitioning schemes. SysConfig.pm is not a system installer, but
rather it is an object class with methods which provide a uniform
way of describing how to install a system. Ultimately you can use
one of the SysConfig classes such as SysConfig::Kickstart or
SysConfig::XML which will describe all of the bits of system
configuration necessary to get an installer up and running.
