The difference between Ubuntu and Kubuntu ist just a package selection issue. They both use the same apt repository and all the packages are the same. The difference is made by the choice of the package ubuntu-desktop or kubuntu-dektop in the packages configuration of FAI. They depend on KDE or Gnome, respectively. > The next thing I need more information on after reading the Wiki, is the > trouble with creating a FAI cd.

The feature not working with other distributions (mainly because I didn't have time to work on it yet) is the fai-cd which is made by the command fai-cd and is the cd used for the complete installation, instead of the network install. The boot floppy/ boot cd is not different from the normal boot-floppy. (though I did never test it, because I have PXE everywhere). BTW: take care you get the newest versions and docs. The Ubuntu stuff is not so relevant anymore, because in the meantime there exist packages which support more than just Ubuntu. The newest packages can be found at a download location on the wiki server, not sprang.de. Henning
