Hi, after two weeks of intensive tweaking, I'm almost approaching the 95% level :-)
There are several items on my wish list though: - If I use an MD5 encrypted password (a special one that contains a / in the salt field) I get a crippled entry in /etc/shadow (It's already in variables.sh, so something went wrong before). Only the part starting with /, up to and excluding the $ separating the salt from the hash, would survive. BAD :-( - I'd like to have support for more filesystems in the install kernel. - Scripts should be named SNNfunction (htis is already possible, but not in the docs/examples) - task logging could use some time stamping (also for faimond) - an easy way to append "append=..." lines to grub/menu.lst during kernel install (without tampering with the file afterwards) - make-fai-nfsroot might be able to skip the NFS server reconfig (I know what I'm doing, and I'm running the FAI server on a production machine, so restarting -not reloading- the NFS server is a bad idea) - the tasksel issue - perhaps a means to install several kernels (think of 2.4 and 2.6 series) Also hints how to install a YP master server (files copied from a non-NIS setup) using FAI would be appreciated, I couldn't find anything about this in the docs... Cheers, Steffen (BTW, I've been working with FAI for two weeks now. To get a kickstart as far as I'm now took me months, starting with an already 75% running setup. FAI is certainly worth every hour of learning!
