Cool, thanks for testing!
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
This is basically what the make-fai-base-tgz from my subversion branch does - you only need to create a config file for a new (debian-based) distribution/version and tell it where it can find the right debootstrap package. (now only for debian, but it should also be possible to add functionality for other distributions by abstractiung the call to the bootstrapper a bit more).
I still have some issues with networking that I'm looking into.
What exactly is happening? I realized there are some strange things happening when installing dapper and having a separate /var partition - I have to look into my config at home to give you a hint what to do. The symptoms of this problem where missing local network, and therefore many things failing, including gnome login, and even the network scripts doing strange things. Henning
