Hey there, we are currently using FAI for our Ubuntu systems. Once everything is set up, things run very smooth. None the less, we think that for new users things could be a bit smoother. Currently I see the following ways of improving things:
* Get the FAI-Project at launchpad[1] up to date. I can do this, but it would be nice to have that extra branch with releases to automate the process (see my other mail) * Improve the example configuration I see two ways of doing this. First make a second example "Ubuntu" or just add all the necessary changes in comments. As one should look through the configuration anyway this might be the solution that is easiest to maintain. * NFSROOT Ok, this is the one giving my the biggest headache. One solution would be to add an extra folder or something. IMO the nicer solution would be adapt the way the fai-client is working: Add a script that detects the right classes and use that to select the files. This would allow to not only manage those file on a distro-basis, but also on a release-bases. In the end it is possible to manage multiple nfs roots with the same config folder and the only file that needs to be adjusted is the nfsroot.conf.
