Perform a simulated install on a Linux box

Just launch Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/bin/perl-install/g_auto_install on your install cd. It'll open 4 windows corresponding to the four zones displayed during ``real'' install. Then just follow the steps as if you were installing Linux-Mandrake onto the machines the auto-install is intended for. Of course, this install won't partition nor format your disk, The ONLY modification on your system (remember this is a simulated install) this install will perform is creating some few files into /tmp. Among them, of course, is the /tmp/auto_inst.cfg.pl file we just talk about.
