This gets you most of the way...
./prey-demo-installer-10232008.bin \
--ui=stdio --noreadme --i-agree-to-all-licenses \
--destination /home/icculus/prey-demo
...but it still wants to show an option screen to choose the default
language and enable PunkBuster support (and a bug in the installer will
make it show the PunkBuster EULA even with --i-agree-to-all-licenses ...
I just fixed that after testing that command line, but it's not in the
existing release.)
So it can be _mostly_ automated, and I'm addressing the rest of the
issues for a later build.
The .bin file is a self-extracting .zip file, if you're asking because
you want to repackage it for a Linux distro...pushing it through unzip
and picking the right files out of the data/ directory may be an easier
route (but please do show the license files!)
