Can i automate package selection?


Hi

Ive just installed arch, and i have to say its the way forward!

I have been a slackware fan for a LONG time, but this things unreal!

It took about half an hour to get up and running, i configured my network and had a full set up, ready to go machine with x and all my fave apps in a couple of hours!

I have one small question tho, is it possible to use something similer to slackwares tagfiles to make automatic selection of packages?

This would really save me a lot of time, as im gonna install it on a few boxes, and i would like to not have to choose every package every time!

I have an "expert" commandline install script that I'll probably be including on the 0.6 iso. It's for people that don't need/want a menu-driven install, and it will let you pass it a list of packages you'd like installed.
