I find this option particularly attractive.  It fits how I would like to 
be able to perform an install, and my level of knowledge.  I DO know in 
advance how I want a system set up, and I would like to specify it, drop 
in the CD-ROM and/or diskette, and walk away.  I don't expect it to work 
right everytime, but it also doesn't tie me to the console while the 
system is installing.
