do you have anything for the current etch FAI 3.1?
FAI 3.1 (since quite some more versions, but I don't know which) has
the most important things integrated:
- unpacking a base.tgz named CLASS.tgz from the configspace
- using other package managers
There are some ubuntu classes here:
http://faiwiki.informatik.uni-koeln.de/images/b/b1/Fai-configspace.tar.gz
And not shipped as a .deb package but a howto add this to a working etch
FAI server?
Just out of my head without testing it now:
- build a minimal base image (here, the make-fai-base-tgz from
svn://svn.debian.org/svn/fai/people/lazyboy/fai-distributions canhelp
you, but is not required) and put it into CLASSNAME.tgz in the
configspace
- add the ubuntu host to the class CLASSNAME
- check that the package lists of the classes of that host are ubuntu
compatible
- install
Any diffs for the current etch version?
Forget all that.
The only helpful but not required thing is at the above-mentioned svn
url - but it's only a helper.
Please try this, and please report if that works.
I took the time to test and it works:
Create base image file:
DIST=feisty
DIR=/tmp/$DIST
[ -e $DIR ] || mkdir $DIR
cd $DIR
FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP_OPTS="--arch i386 --exclude=dhcp-client,info feisty $DIR
http://ftp.belnet.be/packages/ubuntu/ubuntu/";
export FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP_OPTS
debootstrap $FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP_OPTS
chroot $DIR apt-get clean
tar -cvzf /srv/fai/config/basefiles/FEISTY.tar.gz *
cd /tmp
rm -fr $DIR
Note: I'm using debootstrap from debian unstable. I have copied the
feisty debootstrap script from my ubuntu (dapper) machine, and placed it
in /usr/lib/debootstrap/scripts/
I also defined the following classes:
FEISTY
UBUNTU
UBUNTU_DESKTOP
wopr:/srv/fai/config# cat class/FEISTY
UBUNTU
wopr:/srv/fai/config# cat class/faiserv
UBUNTU_DESKTOP
wopr:/srv/fai/config# cat package_config/UBUNTU
PACKAGES aptitude
ubuntu-base
wopr:/srv/fai/config# cat package_config/UBUNTU_DESKTOP
PACKAGES aptitude
ubuntu-desktop
I still have some issues with networking that I'm looking into.
