You can find a 'Funambol Installation and Configuration Guide' pdf here:
https://core.forge.funambol.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=38

Check if that *.bin file has some switch/options to make an unattended
installation, something like '--prefix=/opt/Funambol' or something
like that, maybe '--help' or '-h' can be usefulls

If that is not the case, check if its possible to answer all question
(that the installer makes you) using heredoc:
