[Sunhelp] Jumpstart

Hi Guys,
I've spent the weekend working on a Jumpstart server, which has finally
started to come together quite nicely. However there are two sets of things
which I am still tearing my hair out over, which I hope that you can help
me with.
Firstly, how do I automate the inital section which asks for Language,
Locale & Time confirmation. I want it to trust the values given for time to
be default, and I am neither interested in the Language of the setup
program nor the Locale (which is set later by the class file anyway).
Secondly, how do I stop it asking the S80power question at the end of the
installation. I managed the root password one by stealing the set_root_pw
script which Sun provide, but I cannot see a way by which I can alter this
to deal with the power question.
Also, as an addendum, does anybody have a way of adding custom packages. At
the moment, I'm having to NFS mount and copy over the packages from the
master server, then unmount, reboot and pkgadd so that they all go in the
same place. This is highly hacky and a bit grim. Is there a method built
into jumpstart to enable this?
Thanks in advance,
Ramji Venkateswaran
