Adding copy mode for #95 (#82). I wouldn't say this is a hacky way of doing it, but using a string as identifier is the only way I can think of currently in guided.py. When user is prompted to select a interface to configure for networking, there's now a zero-option to copy existing ISO configuration to the install medium. This enables advance configuration prior to running the installer - and simply copy it straight over to the install medium. Two requirements: 1: That iwd is used for wifi configuration and config for passwords etc are stored in /var/lib/iwd 2: That systemd-networkd is used to configure networking/IP/DHCP as anything under /etc/systemd/networkd/* is copied over.
