NAME

       fai-debconf - set debconf values using classes

SYNOPSIS

       fai-debconf [OPTION] DIRECTORY

DESCRIPTION

       This command is only called internally by FAI and not directly by the user.

       fai-debconf  reads  files  in  DIRECTORY  which  are  also a defined class. If the name of the class is a
       directory,  all  files  in  this  directory   are   read.   The   files   must   have   the   format   of
       debconf-get-selections(1).  All this input is used to call debconf-set-selections(1). This is done in the
       chroot   environment,   if   the   variable   $ROOTCMD   is   set.  After  setting  the  debconf  values,
       dpkg-reconfigure(8) is called for every package which is installed and for which some  debconf  data  was
       set.

OPTIONS

       -h     Show help, version and summary of options.

       -s     Skip reconfiguration of packages. Only set values in debconf database.

       -v     Create verbose output.

       -d     Add additional debugging output. Implies the -v option.

       -f     Run  dpkg-reconfigure  for  all packages FAI has information on, not only for those whose database
              entries were modified.
