Is there no selection of packages either by:
- loading and merging one or more templates based on target usage
- choosing meta package groups
- fiddling with individual selections?
What would be ideal I think would be to use a UI to generated commands
that are
queued and can be released to run in the background. So some initial
setup could
configure the basics and then that could be released to run, while the
meta packages
are investigated (and selected to pending, or released to install).
I like the installers that have a pane that shows me the steps, and a
tabbed structure
that allows me to jump around.
Also, how do you select the package source?
It seems to me that there is a relationship between the roles and/or
packages selected
and the space requirements, and that will feed back to which partitions
you will install
to, and which mount points are used for what (including ZFS pooling if
desired, tho I
don't see why anyone would pool seperate partitions on a single disk).
How will the target selection work if there are a *lot* of devices?
If you make a bunch of selections for what you want, can you save it or
load it as a
template file?
Could the template have macros for MAC addresses, IP addresses and
hostname (from
DHCP)?
