The idea is that you can generate a script that performs the equivalent 
operations that you have done manually.  This would allow you to run 
sysinst once on a "template" system, and then put that script on a 
custom install floppy/CD/whatever to do automated installs of identical 
systems.

I would object.  It's a cool feature.
