+.B fai
+.RI [ options ] " dirinst DIRECTORY"
.SH DESCRIPTION
-
fai starts a fai-action, e.g. an installation or a softupdate.
If the variable FAI_ACTION is defined, this action will be
performed. The command line argument will override the value of
FAI_ACTION. You can also define your own actions which will be
executed when specified.

+.B dirinst [DIR]
+Installation into a directory. This is nearly the same as action
+install except for skipping the task that partitions the hard disks and
+creates the file systems. Classes should be defined with option -c.
+
.SH NOTES
Running with action "install" on an already running system will almost
certainly destroy it.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+ fai -v dirinst /srv/etchroot -cDEFAULT,FAIBASE,LAST
+
+This command will do an installation into the directory
+/src/etchroot. For defining variables, selecting the software packages
+and calling the customization script the classes DEFAULT, FAIBASE and
+LAST are used.
