We do the same thing with a shared grub config file that you can load of the LAN via TFTP. This way you don't even need a FAI partition, just the grub boot entry.
Your grub/menu.lst contains all your normal boot entries, when a FAI one that does a "bootp --with-configfile", this option pulls up another grub menu that contains all out FAI flavors. -Bruce > -----Original Message----- > From: Paul Jimenez [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, December 11, 2003 1:48 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: FAI Partition? > > > > Seems like I saw something about a way to make any machine > self-FAI-upgradable by putting a fai-floppy img as a small partitionon > it... does this ring any bells for anyone?
