@MarkM - good question. I'd say yeah, continue to flag in that case then, but if nothing happens, be prepared to continue to use your close votes on the same question tomorrow. Also, perhaps you're right about the comparison with nlite instead... I'm not particular familiar with un-attended *nix installations.

I understand your analogy with Windows systems, but I disagree. It seems like what the OP was asking for is more akin to nlite and family and WSIM would be more akin to kickstart. There are well-documented tools for customizing the installation of distros for sysadmins. What I thought the OP was looking for was something more hold-my-hand-though-this friendly, which is end-user land to me.
