Hi. I have fai 3.1.6 installed on a Debian system, but when I try to create an iso image with fai-cd I get this error:
... Creating image file ... failed during creation with mke2fs ! I try to sumarize the steps I followed: 0. I get my own testing mirror from http://ftp.debian.org. It works, because I'm using it via my sources.list 1. aptitude install fai-quickstart 2. Edit config files: /etc/fai/fai.conf /etc/fai/make-fai-nfsroot.conf 3. Done the link inside my Apache's documentroot (I had it installed before) 4. Install these packages: -ssh -debmirror -mknbi -apt-move -mkinitrd-cd Maybe there is the trouble, because I had to install it via 'apt-get install -f' or something like that, I remember, because this package is not present in the testing distribution. Anyway, the packages is properly installed, if we see the 'dpkg -l' output below -grub 5. fai-setup It finished properly. At least, this two lines were present: ... make-fai-nfsroot finished properly. Re-exporting directories for NFS kernel daemon.... FAI setup finished. 6. Copy the examples of config files: cp -a /usr/share/doc/fai-doc/examples/simple/* /srv/fai/config/ 7. Try to generate an iso image: fai-cd -m /srv/fai/nfsroot/ /my_dir/imagen_fai.iso The output I got: ... The largest module will need 227154 bytes to be unzipped. Creating / copying binaries and libraries ...

I try to install anyway, but was impossible, because it have to be installed inside the nsfroot. I didn't find any log that can help me. I been googling, and all I found is that helpful mail list. Can someone help me? I only want fai to generate a bootable unattended cd to install debian on a pc. Thanks Javier
