Maybe it's just me, or maybe it's just because I am the only one using
Slackware, but I'm used to booting off of floppy, getting a "login"
prompt, logging in as root with no password, running fdisk, and then
running setup from the root floppy. I guess I don't see any reason to
automate this process, it seems simple (printed instructions on the
screen) and it lets you do more than just run though the install script if
there are problems or whatever. The setup is perty simple, you just step
though a few menus and select your source, destination, keyboard, modem
(if you want), etc. Can such a thing be done for ELKS? I suspect maybe
curses or something is used for the menu system, don't know how much that
hurts us. Just a thought....it seems like if nothing else that would be a
good starting point, and would avoid problems like what hard drive
partition to use (as you're prompted).
