I am working to build a custom install CD using fai-mirror and fai-cd. When I run fai-mirror it is not pulling in my custom package repository.  In my fai config space I am copying in a custom sources.list file into /etc/apt/sources.list.d using fcopy.  I am guessing that I need to do

Using fai-mirror and fai-cd for an offline Xenial installer

a Ubuntu installer is to make a Jessie NFSROOT with a Xenial basefile. The workflow should be: 1. Make or download a Xenial basefile 2. fai-make-nfsroot 3. fai-mirror 4. fai-cd As a first test, I took the ‘simple’ example config and went through this workflow (skipping step 1), which seemed to work

Hello, does anyone know of a faster way to get conflicting packages in a partial mirror created with fai-mirror, than using MAXPACKAGES=1? I need to include both 'grub-pc' and 'grub-efi-amd64' in the mirror. Downloading everything with MAXPACKAGES=1 downloads ca. 1500 packages in one swoop
