The `settle` is intended for interactive installation. For unattended
installation, you may wish to perform all those actions with a script
(except `fdisk`, but it may be easily automated using perl or another
scripting language, which allows bilateral IPC).
They are: `mke2fs`, `mkswap`, `swapon`, `mount`, `make installworld`,
a number of `echo` and `sed` invocations, `usermod`, `lilo`, and final
`reboot`

It does not, as it's not needed. But... possibly, the installation
flash drive may store the script for subsequent setups...

Unless you develop something hardware-related, using the OpenVZ VPSes
may be more desirable.
