 The iso from faicd.debian.net as of today works fine. (It installs a very 
 basic system.)


Is there also some way to build such a faicd from my own config space? Much like
the old FAI-CD...

Will this kind of faicd be the future of FAI-CD in general? I don't entirely
rely on FAI-CD for our installs in general, but it would be a very nice way for
bootstrapping our entire network, some I'm somewhat missing this feature :-)

I haven't been engaged in the discussions about FAI-CD in general lately, so I
might be missing something, sorry.

Best,
Michael

  Currently it's only available for i386, not for amd64.

 Has it become possible again to create FAI-CDs? I thought that this is
 still broken - seems like I'm missing something :-)

h01ger Mrfai, the new fai cd, were you be able to build it completly in 
etch, or did you use sarge packages as well?
Mrfai I've create the mirror, nfsroot and config space on etch, create some 
tarballs, copied thos tarball to a sarge machine and build the iso image 
there.
h01ger so you cant build a fai cd in etch? (i'm asking not to tell other 
people something wrong)
h01ger and i (slowly) resumed working on the new fai cd today ;)
Mrfai no you can't. Except if you have a sarge chroot on an etch system.
h01ger well :)


btw, i commited a fix today, which hopefully fixed the faicd produced with 
live-helper (from the live.debian.net project) available at 
faicd.debian.net - sources are in svn/people/h01ger/faicd

I havent tested the change yet, as I'm busy with other stuff, but I'll test it 
tomorrow and report back.

If you download the iso from faicd.d.n today, its still broken, you need to 
boot with vmlinuz initrd=initrd.gz boot=casper - hopefully tomorrow the 
syslinux-config is fixed (its autobuild daily) and you can just boot the cd.
