We (Henning, Thomas and me) have just discussed this at a automatic 
installation workshop...

preserve and preserve_in_any_case should be expressed of the end of the 
partition-line (like lazyconfig) and not at the partition-size position as 
its done currently.

Also some way of setting up crypted partitions should be possible.

The design of the disc_config file format should be save in the fai-wiki as it 
less likely to get lost there ;-)

page. And I dont think the discussion is over yet :-)
