I always look for some success stories of people using FAI. Maybe you
can tell me a little bit more of the use of FAI in this company.

You can use the preserve keyword, if the partition is already made,
but then you can't give a size for this partition. There also the
option lazyformat. This will not create a filesystem, if the partition
was not moved. I'm not sure if this will work for you.

Maybe a new option "noformat" should be added to setup_harddisks.
How would like to do this ?
