Bug Description

Since we are supporting 2 ways to install nodes at this point would it be beneficial to add a different heading in the TOC, something like:

- Node Enlist, Commission, and Install
  - Debian Installer
    - Overview
          Debian installer uses preseeds, add preseed information here.
    - Usage
          Figures, examples of preseeds in different scenarios
  - Curt Installer
    - Overview
        Curt installer uses yaml configuration templates to handling any cloud-init tasks, document that.
    - Usage
          Figures, examples of yaml configurations in different scenarios

I'd be willing to work on this section but wanted to get some feedback.

Thanks

I think this is fine, but we're referring to it as "fast installer" everywhere, I think "Curtin" or "Curt Installer" is nomenclature that is confusing to new users. However, by all means add a link to the https://launchpad.net/curtin page from "fast installer" so the curious can see what it is.

Thank you for volunteering!

Ok cool, will make sure 'fast installer' is referenced and linked back to the project page when updating the docs

Also should http://maas.ubuntu.com/docs/nodes.html fall under the top level 'Node Enlist, Commission, and Install' as well?

I think it should remain the top-level doc but perhaps name it

"Adding nodes to the system: enlisting, commissioning and installation"
