[XCP] automated installation of XCP

[XCP] automated installation of XCP

[George Shuklin]

Good day.

I wounder if XCP have an some way to perform unattended installation
(kickstart, preseed, etc)...

If no solution available right now i think, for fast pool deploy, those
can be very important:

* allow to point to some kind of 'answer file' at installation startup
* allow to specify a pool-join command.
* perform  host synchronization with pool-wide settings, reflected to
host settings (VLAN creation, pdb initialization, etc).
* Allow network installation (kickstart-like) from PXE.

Thank you.
