An use case is a computer shop: They assemble a computer and boot with the installer CD-ROM. The first few questions are answered manual, which is a keyboard and monitor check. With the network configuration by DHCP is preseed information available, so further installation can be unattented. (no need for computer show employees to baby-sit the installation for partitioning, package selection and mail configuration) The sold computer is shipped with the CD-ROM, so the buyer can do a re-install if he wants. Please add the identifiable DHCP request to the release notes. Cheers Geert Stappers -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
