+start-autoinstall - HELP
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+About:
+ start-autoinstall is used when performing automated installationsr. It is able
+ to configure networking with provided settings, and fetch an installation script from
+ http / ftp server. This allows media to be created which fetches dynamic configuration
+ options from a server-side supplier.
+
+Usage:
+ pc-sysinstall start-autoinstall <config>
+
+Config Syntax:
+
+ The configuration file for start-autoinstall can contain the following options:
+
+ pc_config: <value>
+ - Location of the pc-sysinstall installation configuration file, can be local
+ or start with http:// or ftp:// to fetch from a remote system.
+
+ shutdown_cmd: <value>
+ - Command to execute post-installation, such as "shutdown -p now" or other.
+
+ confirm_install: (YES/NO)
+ - Prompt on the console to begin installation. Defaults to YES.
+ Warning: Setting this to NO will start an installation as soon as start-autoinstall
+ is run. (I.E. after booting some install media) It may be dangerous if a disk is left
+ in a drive and the system is turned on!
+
+ nic_config: (DHCP-ALL / <cfg>)
+ - When set to DHCP-ALL, the software will attempt to get a network address from DHCP on
+ any / all detected NICS. If set to some other command, it will be used as an argument
+ to "ifconfig" to enable networking.
+
+ nic_dns: <value>
+ - Use the following DNS server for networking
+
+ nic_gateway: <gateway>
+ - Use the following default route / gateway for networking
