package: fai-server severity: wishlist version: 3.2 tags: patch Hi,
the fai-cd manpage could need some improvements, to better indicate that
fai-cd, despite it's name, can also be used to create fai-usbsticks.
Attached is a patch (against current svn), with some improvements.
I haven't added an example section, as I'm not really familar with manpage
source code :-) But two examples, one for cd and one for usbsticks, would
rock! (As -u really wants -n...)
regards,
Holger
