I've tried the new version of FAI without many problems. My only comment would be with respect to the /.nocolorlogo file. It would be nice if there was an option in make-fai-nfsroot.conf that said whether or not to generate the file --- otherwise, I have to manually create the file every time I rebuild the nfs root.
Other than that, the upgrade went smoothly. Great work!
