trouble running fai-cd (fai 3.1.1 etch)

[Thomas Memenga]

Hi,

i grabbed the fai cd (FAI 3.1.1, etch) and installed a faiserver with it. I 
have added some configs and now i want to create a new install-cd with fai-cd, 
but i get this error:


ERROR: mkinitrd-cd not found. Please install package.


But mkinitrd-cd is not available in etch. Is fai-cd broken in 3.1.1 for etch ?

Yes. You have to copy your etch nfsroot, mirror (created by
fai-mirror) and config space to a sarge system where you can use
fai-cd to build an ISO image. I'm thinking of creating a sarge
chroot tarball so people can use this chroot on etch to build the
fai-cd.


In the future (but after the etch release) fai-cd will use
initramfs-tools instead of mkinitrd-cd. You can also have a look at
holgers fai cd using live-package technique.
