Hi Yuhua,
I think we need understand more what the actual request is about.
In general we are open to improve the installation paths and do so often, but
in this case it is yet unclear what you actually request.
I'll start with a few questions that come to my mind (surely incomplete) and
subscribe a few people that deal with install/deployment more often to get the
discussion started.
Please help us sorting out what this is about exactly to then finally allow us
to give you an answer if we are interested to do so.
Questions:
1. what format the answers you read from the disk? Is it a file, if so what
does it contain, examples if possible?
2. Actually - is it you "vmware software" that reads these files from this disk
to then do something with it? Or is it the "Distribution boot/installer" that
reads this file to auto-configure and deploy?
3. What do you mean with "the other CD/DVD with OEMDRV label"?
Is that a real Disk/ISO or just a small virtual disk that holds
configuration for the
installation?
(Sounds like cloud-init user data, but could as well be something totally
else ?!?)
4. What are the different types you refer to for desktop/server/live-server
today (I assume preseeds and such)?
5. can you list examples or if possible the full spec of values that you want
to define through those mechanisms?
If we could clarify most of that before the call in ~two weeks from now
we could try bringing the right people together there.
