I was able to get fai to install with the 2.6.8 kernel (on client), but for some reason it's not online (I had assumed it would have used dhcp). So in trying to configure fai more, I have some general questions that I wasn't able to find quickly on google :)
- I see fcopy used with only the source files specified. e.g. fcopy /etc/host.conf /etc/nsswitch.conf /etc/hosts.equiv. Is the base dir the nfsroot directory? ie. if I have nfsroot=/diskless_ro then it's copying from /diskless_ro/etc/host.conf? - this question might be related to the previous one, but where is the /etc/network/interfaces that's used? I want to make sure that dhcp is used. - in the FAIBASE.var class, I see the rootpw='56hNVqht51tzc' as default. How can I easily generate this password? - I need to specify kernel boot parameters for the installed client kernel, e.g. I have in my other computers this grub stuff: title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.8-1-386 root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-1-386 root=/dev/hda1 ro console=ttyS1,19200 console=tty0 initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.8-1-386 savedefault boot The kernel installed from aptitude automatically generates it's own config, so how do I add this? ...I think that's enough questions for now... cheers, dan --
