The new year starts with a new FAI release. A new command (fai-mirror) was added, which can be used to create a partitial Debian mirror, if you can't create a complete mirror for your architecture with mkdebmirror. With fai-mirror(1) you will only download packages that are used in your classes in package_config. This command will also be used for creating parts of the fai CD.
New in FAI 2.6.6
- new command fai-mirror(1) to create a partitial Debian mirror - setup_harddisks: bug fix: error redefined mountpoint is wrongly reported, allow space before keywords primary and logical - install_packages: add option -f - task_sysinfo calls hwinfo if available (very nice hardware info) - 06hwdetect.source: SCSI detect code for 2.6 kernel - new variable FAICLIENTS in make-fai-nfsroot.conf. Used by fai-setup for exporting the nfsroot and the config space via NFS - create a list of all packages in base.tgz (for fai CD) - ftar: test if directory is / before removing files recursively - enable shadow passwords for passwd and group in examples - save files FAI_CLASSES, variables.sh and disk_var.sh to /var/log/fai not to /etc/fai - add supprt for booting from CD - other bug fixes
Just to clarify here... am I correct in reading between the lines that the FAI-CD stuff (booting and installing from a CD rather than a remote NFS mount) is all now integrated? I believe that's what the above implies. And if so, that's very cool. Thank you.
