No, I don't have docs ;-) I did everything as fai-like as possible, but fai from debian-sarge missed some features: * For RPM based distros I skip "debconf", "prepareapt" and "instsoft"; and replace them with my own hooks. * I skip "disk_config" and "mountdisks"; and replace it with my own hooks to be able to use any filesystem and to get lvm support I can send you these scripts, but I guess it would be helpful if I'd explain them too ... and they are for the debian-sarge version of fai. Maybe you should pay a meeting for Henning, you and me. Then Henning can integrate the missing pieces in fai and you learn how to use them ;-) Ingo -- Linuxhotel, Inh.
