It is possible to automate such things; however, some manual
configuration is desirable.  In particular, the selection and
preparation of the Linux partition should be done manually.  
If you write a script to do that automatically, there is a 
danger it will be wrong on some computers and overwrite a
valuable partition.

Installing the X packages can easily be automated.  Just add
them to package list in the installation script.
