FAI 2.9 - PB with FAI-NFSROOT

Hi, I just try to install FAI 2.9 on a sarge and I encounter the following problem with fai-nfsroot. To install FAI 2.9, I can not do an apt-get since all the packages are in testing, so I dowload them : fai-doc fai-nfsroot fai-client fai-server I do an dpkg -i fai-doc.. fai-client.. fai-server..

Re : Strange problem with fai-mirror not finding the kernel package from my mirror

for the section of the kernel, it was sarge and now it is stable, so you need the two sections (sarge et stable) in order to have all the packages. Phil Nouveau : téléphonez moins cher avec Yahoo! Messenger ! Découvez les tarifs exceptionnels pour appeler la France et l'internat

Hi, Do some of you know about a tool that is able to make an installation documentation. This will be about the same as generating a report on the machine. I've begun to write sth that output a LaTeX report giving details about the hardware, listing some important files as /etc/network/interfac

Hi, I wanted to use a shell script and a cfengine script for the same class. Moreover I needed to control the execution order of them. This patch will do the following, when it's time to execute scripts in /fai/script : for each class, if there is a script with the same name, it is executed, as
