Normally, I use general d-i, too. But this time, I'd like to try out
reiser4 as root fs.
I do have other options, like building a new system within an existing
debian installation which supports reiser4. But just out of curiosity,
I think why learning about how to initialize an system and custom the
d-i tool the same time.
I'd have to say, the documents for this task is pretty rare besides
the few on wiki.debian.org. But glad to say I am on my way, just
without a guide.
