"ie." would mean "During unattended installations, in other words with the option [mutableUsers = false][...]".
This may be fine, though "unattended installation" does not (forcibly) imply "mutableUsers = false".
What do you think of:
During unattended installations, where no root password is expected to be given interactively, it is possible to use [...]
This, though, loses the mutableUsers = false hint, but makes the statement more global; It is just as well possible to want a mutableUser = true installation be installed unattended, right?
Feel free to consider other alternatives, including and excluding the configuration hints.
