[Maybe Off-topic] Production Installations

Hello,

Every time I install RedHat (or any other Linux distribution) in a system,
I have to select everything I want/don't want to install again, even if
the installation is the same as another one I did 5 minutes ago in an
identical PC system.

Some OS's (SCO Unixware 7, for instance) have a very interesting feature,
which allows the installer to record his installation options, so that he
can re-install the _same_ Linux again as many times as he wants, without
having to "re-answer" the installation questions.

Is it my lack of knowledge or this really does not exist in any Linux
distribution?

If it exists, please let me know. If not, this would be a good way to ease
Linux installation in corporate desktops, or even in similar servers,
don't you think ? I believe this is something to be considered ...

If this is not the right place to discuss it, please let me know whereelse
I should post this e-mail.

Regards,
Ivan Passos
