Write the file from scratch

Well, indeed, not really from scratch. You are encouraged to start from an existing /tmp/auto_inst.cfg.pl file you previously generated with a normal or simulated install.

In fact, it is recommended whatever the method you used to generate the auto_inst.cfg.pl file, to edit it by hand, following the details given in the last section of that documentation ``Inside the auto_inst file''.



Important
You probably noted that this file follow the perl syntax. Before using such a file you modified by hand you should use perl -c auto_inst.cfg.pl in order to check the syntax of your customised file.
