Hi Stephan, you are right, and thinking about it, this isn't needed for this FAI installation anyway, as FAI_ALLOW_UNSIGNED is set to true in BC_BASE.var.
I'll correct it on the wiki. Using apt-proxy instead of debmirror was done just out of simplicity. IMO it serves the purpose of this howto (setting up a testing environment) very well. If it's about using FAI in production environment, I don't have as much experience as you do. Maybe we should add a note to the wiki? Or describe an alternative approach in detail? > Btw...would you like to work with us on FAI in Ubuntu? I'll contact you off-list.
