Hmm, in the mail you cite I wrote, that you do _not_ need two nfsroots :) - and you also _don't_ need an additional /etc/fai-<whatever>. I install Sarge, Ubuntu Dapper, and Etch from one nfsroot, running FAI 2.X on sarge. The main thing you need is a base image(see the fai-distributions stuff mentioned in the other mail, but you can create it however you wat, basically), and some hooks to unpack it - as well as package lists with the right packages for the additional distribution. I attach my hooks directory for that. This all works for me, in my environment - to get it running in your's you might need some fiddling - I did not and will not invest a lot of time to document this, because in FAI 3 it's much easier, and many things are fully integrated into FAI now. But I happily answer questions if you have further problems - only, please include better descriptions of what you did and what the error message was next time :) Henning
