Yes, di can replace FAI.
Every question asked is stored in a database, so its possible to store the
configuration after installation and with a non-interactive frontend do an
automatic install.
However there are still packages that don't use debconf for their
configuration. (Search for pere@hungry.org and debconf on BTS)
And there is afaik also the problem of storing partition settings if you
don't use "automatic partitioner".
I propose to use sfdisk at end of partition step to store
partition-settings in debconf.
Then sfdisk can be used to "restore" this settings again.
Steinar also managed an almost autoconfiguration by setting priority to
high.
But that still needs work. :)
