Hallo there, as I've understood the process of fai, after the installation process you'll have to reboot to get the installed system running. You may set up cron jobs @reboot or rc's but you can't use anything of fai which you didn't set up in the installation process. I managed to set up an yp server at the first reboot with a cron job and delete the appropriate file in /etc/cron.d at the end of the set up process. Greetings Albrecht
