Which FAI version were you using before adding my repository? In my repository there is FAI 3.2 which has some major changes to FAI 3.1.8. -- regards Thomas
further problems with make-fai-nfsroot
Hi!

thanks Thomas
Thanks thomas for your help. I installed one target using the fai-cd today. Fully Automatic Installation !!! I used fai version 3.2 on etch (kernel 2.6.20.7 - custom kernel) Warm Regards, Prafash
RE: error while running make-fai-nfsroot
Thanks Holger, It worked. I was able install the etch OS. What is the default username/password that we need to give when it reboots? Should we login as root?

Still I am getting this error. How do we fix this? you need to install libapt-pkg-perl - this will be fixed in fai 3.2.1 regards, Holger

I think it works the following way: put your code in a script $NFSROOT/$FAI/hooks/confdir.DEFAULT, where $NFSROOT and $FAI are set in make-fai-nfsroot.conf and fai.conf, respectively. Ok, it reads to hook, but then my svn checkout fails because the directory already exists. I don't see any other way than to move the code that downloads my key to an higher level. About svn+ssh: I think latest FAI should already allow that, so it depends on your actual version. Yes your right, I checked it again. I must have looked over it the first time. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Rudy Gevaert [EMAIL PROTECTED] tel:+32 9 264 4734 Directie ICT, afd.
