-# by running "dpkg --set-selections < dpkg-selections.txt
+# by running "dpkg --set-selections < dpkg-selections.txt and

#
-# (2) the partition table of all disks.
+# (3) the partition table of all disks.
# this partition table can be used to format another disk of
# the same size. this can be handy if using software raid and

# by running "sfdisk /dev/sdb < partitions.sdb.txt"
# (MAKE SURE YOU PARTITION THE CORRECT DISK!!!)

+# NOTE: the __star__ below will be replaced by the disks found on the
+# system (e.g. partitions.sda.txt, partitions.sdb.txt). If you change
+# the partitionsfile default below, be sure to include the __star__
+# replacement in the filename, or you will get one file for only one disk,
