The new FAI CD's using FAI 3.4.8 and squezze are available!
You can download the ISO images for i386 and amd64 from
http://fai-project.org/fai-cd/
The CD's are using the 2.6.32 kernel and the squeeze distribution.
There's also a short description how to put the CD onto a bootable USB
stick.

you can now use a Linux 3.1 kernel with FAI easily, if you need a more

grml project builds kernel packages for i386 and amd64, we can now use
them during installation and for the new system. A short description
is available
