[General question] FFCV scope

[Arnold2381]

Hi team,

Does FFCV only works for image dataset? Can i use it for non image dataset too, like tabular data and so on.

Also in addition to that i am getting some installation failure, I used the dockerfile from the readme but when on installing and importing the packages, this is the exception i get.
