In a nutshell...

It allows you to give pre-defined answers to the questions which the
installer (anaconda) asks regarding basic system setup, disk
partitioning, package selection etc. Also, there is provision for some
post-installation scripting to perform further customisation.


Hope this helps,
Phil
