The new FAI version 5.5 supports a very nice feature in fcopy. Using -S,
fcopy itself can do variable substitution, which may replace your
preinst scripts. Until now preinst scripts for fcopy were used for
doing variable substitution. We also got rid of the need to have
aptitude installed.

More details can be found in the Changelog
https://github.com/faiproject/fai/blob/master/debian/changelog

I've already created new FAI CD images that are available at
https://fai-project.org/fai-cd/

Currently I'm very busy working on a brand new FAI feature, which will
be announced in a couple of weeks.
