Yes, it's possible. All key-values pairs on the kernel command line are
defined as normal shell variables in FAI. Therefore I would use
myclass=DESKTOP, then you can use this variable in a script class/*
where you just echo the value of this variable. This will
automatically be defined as a FAI class.
