Hi all, the new FAI version 3.2 is now available. A total of 45 bugs were closed! This is a new record. 12 new options were added to commands and also some new features.
The major change is, that the now the plain Debian kernel and an inital ramdisk is used to boot the FAI system. Here are other news - FAI uses live-initramfs for booting, the whole nfsroot is now writeable for the clients (by using unionfs) - fai-cd can create bootable USB sticks - major update to the fai guide - scp/ssh are now the default methods instead of rcp/rsh when contacting the install server - faimond can now call fai-chboot (instead of rsh/ssh call) - fai-savelog uses $LOGREMOTEDIR - Task extrbase can also extract files from directory ../basefiles/ - /tmp/target is now /target FAI 3.2 is tested with Debian 4.0 aka etch, and can be downloaded if you add following line to sources.list: deb http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/download etch koeln A new fai-cd ISO image for i386 will be created in the next days. -- regards Thomas
