Actually there is code in sysinst that tries to write out a shell script
which you night expect to be able to rerun in order to replicate the
installation.
However this is all fubar becase it forces sysinst to run programs
instead of using system calls, and makes any decisions based on the
filesystem (or user input) stupendously painfull.
I'd somethimes thought of ripping it out (and transferring some of
the info to the log file).
