Just use the FAI classes for this. You can write a very intelligent
program (or script) that prints a FAI class to stdout, for
e.g. UBUNTU08 or SLES10_64. Put this script/program in the
subdirectory class/. That's it. If you like some manual input from the
user, have a look at this script, how to define classes.
