Have a look at dhclient-perl. There you see that the DHCP vendor option 170 are mapped to FAI_CONFIG_SRC. option_170 FAI_CONFIG_SRC So you should use this in dhcpd.conf option option-170 "nfs://faiserver/usr/local/share/fai"; # FAI_CONFIG_SRC But I never tested this. > if there's a another way to > dynamically set FAI_CONFIG_SRC? Another trick would be to write some shell code into fai.conf inside the nfsroot. This file is sourced and defines FAI_CONFIG_SRC. So you could write some code that sets this variable depending on your network environment. But if the DHCP thing work, I guess that's the best solution for you. BTW. Maybe you like to update your FAI questionnaire from 2004 and sent it back to me. -- regards Thomas
