I would like to ask for the IP address, the hostname,
and additionally, some of the software that is being
installed later on (say mysql) needs a root password,
I would like it (FAI) to ask like 15-20 questions at
the very beginning (menu.lst) and then use that info
to "fill in the blanks" during the install.
