I realized a mistake in my questioning: What situation do you mean with "otherwise it didn't work"? Did you really try to put something(specifically, a debootstrapped-minimal jaunty image) like MY-UBUNUT-JAUNTY-CLASS.tar.gz into basefiles and let FAI extract this image, as described in the mentioned wiki page? Or did you just try to "upgrade" a lenny base image to Jaunty by changing the apt sources.list to be an Ubuntu one? The first should work the same as changing the base.tgz in the nfsroot, but is a bit cleaner, and reservese the possibiliyt of installing plain debian and others nicely, and I can not imagine how the problem described could happen that way. While the latter most defintely can only fail. Henning
