Have many people used this? Almost seems too good to be true.

Ubuntu has had something like this for years

One downside... it uses entirely default selections, so no auto install to a second partition

I've used it now and again on peoples computers I ahve had to format. I think it would be very useful if it would allow you to add custom applications and alter how each install but giving you a customised view of the installer process before downloading then altering to install to different location could be done.

It works good and saves a lot of time but it installs default options. You get no chance to change the options during install.
