nope, it's replaced with

interactiveSteps => [ 'doPartitionDisks', 'formatPartitions'],

yeah, no pb. I won't change drakconf now, but it works both ways, so it's ok

1.  ?? Meaning you are removing:

and replacing with 'interactive' => 'gtk',

On a side note, the above is produced at the end of an install, but a replay 
disk created by drakconf uses a different style.

Yesterday (or this night), I looking for the new darkxconf and find the 
autoinstall tools. This is a very good idea but I have suggestions (perhaps 
not for actual 8.2 if it is too late):

- Purpose just to create the file auto_inst.cfg and maybe the syslinux.cfg
- Purpose to select a list of packages as during the installation with 
dependency resolving for creating this from server for all distribution's 
versions, and put directly the file on ftp|NFS|http serveur
- Can set all parameters as network, ect...

I know this need a lot of work and perhaps you are in way to do this. It is 
just suggestions. 

At time I'm testing auto_inst over ftp, I have a dos partition with just 
syslinux, kernel and network.img, I boot and all unless partitionning and 
format. I can said you this work very well ;-)

And I forgot, write the doc, but I think it is not most important for the 
moment !

Very Thanks.

these lines tell the auto_install to not be completly automatic. The only
steps that will be non-automatic are doPartitionDisks and formatPartitions.

this makes me think that's this is the old way to tell the auto_install.
Nowadays, you can use "interactiveSteps" to achieve this. I'm changing this.

For Cooker daily testing I would advice to not use the auto
install floppy. If you choose "recommended" install anyway the
few choices are very fast to do...

Thanks, I understand the difference, I have select "Replay", but I can't lose 
this Windows at time, and message from lilo affraid me. Don't forget it's a 
cooker, and I wan't test for help you, if there are a bug...

In the file autoinst.cfg, I don't see where the format is specified, but my 
diskette is at home, I will relook this this evening as Pixel ask me, I will 
send this file.

I want use this diskette for reinstall faster the cooker for testing.

If doubt, I retry to create this diskette after an other installation.

Very Thanks.

At the end of the install you had this dialog:

-=-==-==-==-==-=---
The auto install can be fully automated if wanted,
in that case it will take over the hard drive!!
(this is meant for installing on another box).

You may prefer to replay the installation.
-=-==-==-==-==-=---

With two possibilites: "Replay" and "Automated", you chose
"Automated", that is why it told you it would remove everything
and reformat the whole harddisk.

give the auto_inst.cfg that's on the floppy.
