OK thank you for clarifying this. May I suggest to write something along those lines " A good common sense is to just select in d-i the min..." in the documentation somewhere? So that customers run into that. Of course what I was trying to do (it was part of a test) may also be an edge case and is not relevant. But IMHO it wouldn't hurt to have one or two sentences about this topic in the documentation. ------- Comment From [email protected] 2017-06-22 06:43 EDT------- (In reply to comment #14) > OK thank you for clarifying this.
