Yes, I do... :-)

But back to our current issue: I don't think people will remove fai-quickstart
just before they start out doing their own configs; if I had installed
fai-quickstart, I'd most probably remove it once I do a bigger cleanup of my
package list and knew FAI pretty well, such that I don't need fai-quickstart
anymore, I've done my config after all ... and then I'd file a bug-report :-)

Why don't we ask

echo -n "Shall I do rm -rf $FAI_CONFIGDIR? " ; read answer
case $answer in
  y*|Y*)
    rm -rf $FAI_CONFIGDIR
    ;;
  *)
    echo "$FAI_CONFIGDIR left untouched."
    ;;
esac

IMHO an important aspect is that we literally ask for "rm -rf $FAI_CONFIGDIR" to
let the user see what we are going to do - has anyone of you ever wrote a script doing
"rm -r ${x}*" (and you were damn sure, ${x} could never be empty...) :-)

Best regards,
Michael
