Unnattended Etch installation?


Hello!

I'm running a migration and I'd like to install a "custom" etch for Desktop use. I'm planning to install xdm, icwm as windows manager, xfce as file manager, abiword, gnumeric, and some extra packages for video and audio reproduction.

After having all the applications installed and configured (icewm menus in spanish, fonts, spanish and portuguese languages support, etc) I'd like to have a method to deploy that "basic" application, like doing some kind of unnattended installation.
Which would be some simple and easy approuch to do that? I've just found www.instalinux.com, that seems to be easy, but I think it won't be possible to deploy some configuration files like icewm customizations.
Any piece of advice?

Regards,
Matías
