9 And as esammer already pointed out, this allows for reuse of the backend
10 in both attended and unattended installs. So, the interactivity is in
11 the frontend, the backend's responsibility is to perform an install
12 based on an install profile (what to do), and an arch profile (how to do
13 it), the frontend just gets an install profile together for the backend
14 to use, and optionally gathers status information from the backend as it
15 performs the install.
