Thanks - I read that the first time and it did not register...  I am
"stunned" that support for other installers (kickstart) was "dropped"
before autoinstall is fully ready.  No "tool" to create the autoinstall
file.   That and still not available. Not sure how something like that
happens.

very frustrating to find these things out, support dropped (or migrated to
a legacy CD, that took a long time to find out)... Then kickstart nut
fullly supported - or at least for the things I was doing, then docs for
autoinstall - were not working for me.. trial and error finally got me
going with autoinstall that did anything... then come to the stage to try
and tweak the autoinstall file - the example on the one webpage did not
work - and no autoinstall-editor is even yet available.   I am using 20.04
and there is a later 20.10 and still not available.

Just summarizing what I ran into. Thank you for your reply.

Jerry
