It would be a good idea in general, to better separate between things "included" in FAI not meant to be changed by users and things meant to be changed by users. Now we often have the situation, when installing a new FAI version, that it's very useful (or even needed?) to merge changes in the FAI example configs into your own, customized FAI config space in /usr/local/share/fai, which can, in case you really edit the example config's scripts and things like that, be a nice little hell. > > > ERROR: 25600 25600 > > Well, one would not expect a major problem to hide behind this line. > Can someone please explain where this comes from, and what the numbers > mean?

I don't know about the numbers - but if any of the packages in one apt call in software install has a failure, none of all the packages get installed, but often an error is only displayed for the package with the error - i had troubles to find that out, too once...
