I'll need to edit it a bit, but it's completely clear! [10:21] I thought to mess with debconf [10:21] :) [10:22] Mrfai is a life saver by having written fai anyway :) [10:23] h01ger: I know, but still. it [10:23] 's great to have help like this.

[14:47] Mrfai: the lvm class would contain for example the dependency on lvm2 [14:54] This is up to every user. FAI cannot define classes for all environments. a LVM class is an example and should g ointo the wiki [14:59] stockholm?

[15:17] stockholm: what? [15:17] Mrfai: can you elaborate? [15:17] lazyb0y: to have less examples? [15:18] lazyb0y: to have a as small as possible starting config?
