I guess it would differ from what we have currently in that it would also specify partitioning information, which is not handled by “operating-system”. Does it make sense to extend “operating-system” such that disk partitioning information could be included and (*holds breath*) acted upon automatically? Acting on partitioning info is a little scary because it can easily lead to data loss upon reconfiguration. Small bugs could lead to very big problems, so maybe this should not be default behaviour. -- Ricardo GPG: BCA6 89B6 3655 3801 C3C6 2150 197A 5888 235F ACAC https://elephly.net
