I was going down a similar road...and was pointed to the multi-distro information...I did not end up needing to, as my server, client, etc are all lenny....put I can say this much - no, they do not have to be the same, and i think the thing you will have to look into is creating the proper base.tgz ......someone else could say more
where to start looking: try here http://faiwiki.informatik.uni-koeln.de/index.php/FAI_multi-distribution and search the mailing list (note: I found it better to search the mailling list from google than the archive site, as it seemed to miss threads) good luck! 2008/7/10 Steffen Bornemann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > English: > ======== > > > Hello, > > I try to install a client with lenny release from a fai server with etch > release.
