It's hard to say how hard it is without knowing your experience with
automatic installations - and it is also hard to say in which problems
you might run - therefore:

Try it and ask if you don't get it done :)

That said, I'm doing it without any problems.

So, you got some experience with it?

This Wiki page might not be in all points totally out of date, but I'm
not aware of errors in there.

configspace is this:
http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/fai-guide/ch-config.html#s-c3

And, be advised to read the whole FAI guide one time before going on -
it will make your life easier.
