So, according to your advice above, I ran the make-fai-nfsroot alone: # make-fai-nfsroot -v ... lots of messages here, then: The following packages have unmet dependencies: texlive-lang-german: Depends: texlive-common but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages ERROR: 25600 25600 ... some more messages, and then: make-fai-nfsroot finished properly. Well, what is a successful NFSROOT, then, if packages fail to install properly, and how can I tell the difference between a successful and a failed install in such a case, except for applying my personal judgement and agree that texlive-something might not be that important? Also, why are these packages, now listed in the file This is all i386 and sarge, except for the FAI versions which are somewhat mixed (latest of everything, preferred release 'koeln')... I think I'm a bit confused at this point. 8-\ So far, I'm iterating over the output of make-fai-nfsroot -v, adding packages to /etc/fai/NFSROOT as I go. There should be a better way. Best, --Toni++
