FAI looks impressive, I've been searching for a tool similar to this for weeks (found mondo, replicator, now fai and nais). I need something like this to automate installs of a number of different 'profiles' - i.e. use one bootdisk to install machines of type A, another bootdisk to install type B etc. I'd prefer no user intervention at all. Are there any alternatives or solutions to configuring the machine by hand after the install? Will debconf help here (can we also install say a package of our own config files, or use debconf's ability to remember previous configs?). mondo is attractive as it creates a bootable CD which completely reinstalls a machine, but I'd prefer not to maintain multiple disk images, I'd rather stick with a central package repository for all types of install.
