NAME

       fai-debconf - set debconf values using classes

SYNOPSIS

       fai-debconf [OPTION] DIRECTORY

DESCRIPTION

       fai-debconf reads files in DIRECTORY which are also a defined class. If
       the name of the class is a directory, all files in this  directory  are
       read. The files must have the format of debconf-get-selections(1).  All
       this input is used to call debconf-set-selections(1). This is  done  in
       the  chroot environment, if the variable $ROOTCMD is set. After setting
       the debconf values, dpkg-reconfigure(8) is  called  for  every  package
       which is installed and for which some debconf data was set.

OPTIONS

       -h     Show help, version and summary of options.

       -s     Skip  reconfiguration  of  packages.  Only set values in debconf
              database.

       -v     Create verbose output.

       -f     Run dpkg-reconfigure for all packages FAI  has  information  on,
              not only for those whose database entries were modified.
