O.K., i probably have to check it out.

For FAI, somebody documeted an approach for configfile-templating in
the Wiki - basically, templating in FAI is possible with everything
from sed to special Text templating systems.

Softupdate is basically running fai package installation and scripts
on a running/installed system - the install without the partitioning
and base deploy.

So, it's also extremely flexible - which might be good or bad
depending on what you want to do or like.

In other terms:FAI scripts don't have much straucture or knowledge of
each other, as puppet knows about all resources in a central place.
