Re: move basefiles out of config space

Thanks for the follups Toomas and Thomas. If we need to fix this with 3.4.8 we know where to look.

move basefiles out of config space

Hi, I was wondering what the best would be to move the extra basefiles out of the config space. We have put our config space in a subversion repository. We have also put some basefiles into it. This gives us two 'problems': *) checkout of the config space takes some time because of these

bad interaction between fai and mkconf (mdadm)

Hi list, Hi Martin When installing mdadm with FAI mdadm gets a wrong config file. During the installation of mdadm mkconf (which configures mdadm) is called. mkconf uses the DEVICE variable. During the fai install the DEVICE variable is set! Where does FAI set that variable? (Is it even

installing squeeze with lenny nfsroot issues policy-rc.d

Hi list, I'm trying (and partly succeeded) in getting FAI (3.3.3+experimental9) running on lenny to install squeeze. I've done such constructions before, using sarge nfsroot to install etch and lenny, mixing 32 and 64 bit. And so on ;) I set out to do the same exercise again for squeeze.
