+# INSTALL: for autodiscover iso, this is needed. We could also add it to
+# the autodiscover grub, but then we have to burn a new iso if we want a
+# non-install one. It sets the class for the corresponding INSTALL.var,
+# which sets FAI_ACTION=INSTALL. I'm not sure if this variable overrides
+# FAI_ACTION outside of autodiscover, todo: test it out, if it doesn't,

 # os into a multi-os system, if we see some basic hueristics, like the
 # right amount of them. This overrides that.
