Question Solaris JumpStarting?... Simple Yes/No Question... Unless the answer's 'No'

I'm reading through this guide, BigAdmin Feature Article: Using Solaris JumpStart With the Solaris 10 OS for x86/x64 Platforms, and I was wondering if there was more to the bash scripts than just the example given (see above link) like for begin1 and begin2 and finish1 and finish2. I don't know anything about bash scripting OR JumpStarting so I'm all new to this. The scripts seem so short and all they do is 'echo' things (I'm guessing that means print things to the screen). Is that really all I need in these scripts for JumpStart?
