open questions/remarks

  • http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Trial1_Server_Image - looks outdated
  • how to define classes for a host? map mac-addresses to machines to classes? -> file in /etc
  • livecd-creator has the following in its config file: rm -rf /usr/share/doc/* - thats not soo good ;)

5gb for /var/log, maybe 10
10gb for /var
260 for /home (or 250) or diving this into /home and /$path/backup
