[ale] autoconfig for redhat

[Jim Kinney]

RH6 (and some previous versions) ship with a remote install capability.
You write a file with the answer to all the questions the install script
will ask and the process is automated. It seems possible to have network
setups based on mac address. I haven't used this yet, but it seems fairly
sophisticated. The official distribution has a sizable manual section on
how to use it.
