How to debug install_packages?

How can I get more information on what's going on from install_packages? 
Is there a better way besides set -x and echo?


There's something fishy going on and I don't know what triggers it. 
During a Debian installation i_p tries to call yast and install 
kernel-xenpae. The only time this package is mentioned in my config 
space is in package_config/DEFAULT - but in a way that it should never 
be regarded as must install this for Debian (or Ubuntu).

if you add verbose to FAI_FLAGS, install_packages is called with -v.

Put your packages_config/DEFAULT and fai.log onto paste.debian.net and
we can help you.

Actually I helped myself. Was a really stupid mistake. Somehow I got 
hold of an unpatched NFSroot. (Didn't include the and-patch.)


On the bright side:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:Ubuntu 8.10
Release:8.10
Codename:   intrepid

Full debootstrap from a lenny nfsroot, installation rules based on 
ubuntu hardy. Only changes I had to make:

  - add --include=aptitude to FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP_OPTS
  - rename /dev/hda to /dev/sda in menu.lst after grub has run

I LIKE THIS SHIT!   :p
