I was just reading Universal Silent Switch Finder posted by duijsterj. I really liked the tool because I have spent a lot of time creating what I call Silent Install Packages (and the tool that he mentioned will save me a ton of time in the future).

Basically, if I have to install something I will find out all of the switches I need to use to make it install itself. Here are some resources that I have found that makes creating silent install packages much easier:
