I think I may encountered that the machine with .disable refused to do localboot!? Call fai-chboot -o default once (also explained in the man page). -- regards Thomas

I'm currently using fai-chboot to enable netinstall on a machine, and reboot it. Then I wait until I see in faimond that the machine started installation, so I again fire up fai-chboot to disable netinstall on that machine (ie. next time machine boots, it will do localboot). Is there a way to simplify this? I would like to use fai-chboot once... You have to define LOGUSER and then call fai-setup. Then everything should be set up (ssh keys) so that each install client can log into you install server and call fai-chboot. You can also use faimond -b. -- regards Thomas

(hostname of our faiserver has been replaced with a placeholder, apart from that no modifications) Every server boots from net by default. On first install you have to be quick (15seconds) to interrupt the bootprocess and choose an installation, on subsequent boots - just wait for the timeout. That way you don't have to give write-access to everybody so they may be able to juggle around pxeconfigs. If a reinstallation is necessary, nothing has to be changed. tschüß thomas P.S.: works for me ;P default Description: Binary data
