We have a grown linux environment, which are different in
hardware/distribution/installed software.
We are more interessted in FAIs "softupdate" function than "install". We
would like to gather the information about the softwarereleases installed
on our clients. This could be done with
aptitude
I am installing Ubuntu Karmic with FAI and it works. No problems so far.
From time to time I recognize that some packages are missing. Packages, which
would be there if it would be a "normal" DVD Installation.
To get this "normal packages" in my ubuntu I have to put them
in my KARMIC-Packages-
Feedback: Installation with "PACKAGES aptitude-r" works as desired. It is
now documented in the wiki.
thx to Waldemar,
Patrick
For performance reasons we would like to install our servers with
aligned partitions (Partiton starts at sector number 64 instead of 63).
This is the sequence we would use with fdisk.
fdisk /dev/whatever1 x b 1 64
How can we do that with Setup-Storage or other other FAI tools?
Patrick
btw

We have time. It is just a suggestion for further releases.

Try this:
disk_config sda align-at:4k disklabel:msdos

Indeed, there is a bug in the parser probably caused by a mis-merge on my part.
It's fixed in experimental86.
No, "align-at" does not work. Without ist works.
$ setup-stor
experimental87 is not throwing any errors, but the align-at option
doesn't work
$ cat stzdiskconfig

I'm not sure I agree. But that might be because my interpretation of alignment
is not quite accurate.

Ok, thanks; could you please give experimental88 another try? Sorry for abusing
you as tester,
Is there an easy method to restart a FAI Installation without rebooting
the target machine?
Usually, when an installation is finished, "" appears.
In our FAI environment, the user/admin can choose some parameters during
the FAI installation process (in the "defclass.DEFAULT" hook)
e.g what kind

Sadly, we can't configure the existing DHCP server (the Department owns it

I assume ip=dhcp suggests acquiring an IP address from the existing DHCP
