Hi,
I made a minor update to the multidistribution stuff I made available
for download at
http://www.sprang.de/download/fai-multi-distribution/
Just some minor fixes.
As a next step I will really put this into a people branch into FAI
subversion, so other developers can more easily look at that

Hi,
I have a machine with a sata disk. On the preinstalled Ubuntu running on
that machine this is run as sda.
But FAI sees them as hda, talking to them via the IDE driver. The same

Hi,
Due to massive spambots activity in the wiki we were forced to disable
new user registration. New users can only be created by Thomas, Holger,
and me at the moment. Better solutions are underway, but can take a
while to complete. See the wiki for further notice:
