Hi,

I have several packages from trinity missing in may FAi instalation.
After some investigation. I found out that the problem seems to be that
FAl installs additional (to the one from the package config of FAI) only
packages that are marked "depends" and not the one that are "recommends".
Is there a debconf flag that I can set to change this behavior?

it looks like changing your package_config files to use "aptitude-r"
will result in aptitude being called with the "-r"/"--with-recommends"
option.  the default "PACKAGES aptitude" line uses
"-R"/"--without-recommends" (per /usr/sbin/install_packages in fai
3.4.8).

hth...

OK, but where to change that behavior?
Just add a line in the package_config file?
