I'm using the quickstart install scripts to set up quickstart on VMWare rather than VirtualBox and would love it if I could pass my username and password rather than using the default quickstart/quickstart. So, something like:

~/quickstart/install-quickstart.sh -u=myuser -p=mypass

I am no bash-scripting expert, but if you could point me in the right direction I can get started on a patch.
Thanks!

Sean Buscay has something similar to this on his working branch. We'll release in the not too distant future, I hope. It's this basic idea, of how can you preseed the script.

fwiw, not a good idea to pass on command prompt, as commands are logged. (and logging passwords is bad practice).

I'm postponing since we already have this on our radar, and already worked into the branch on github. Please feel free to ping this issue if it's not in the 7.x-3.x branch soon. (a month or so)

Hi all.

Yes, I have a version of this where init vars are set in an init file before install and then may be deleted afterwards.

We'll get this is soon.

DrupalPro has this option (variables in CONFIG file). I'm removing assignment to me since I'm no longer maintaining the 7.x-2.x branch (its moved to DrupalPro Development Desktop), and I'm not sure of the future of Quickstart 2.x except that it wont be based on Ubuntu 12.04LTS (Unity)
