Well, I had it running well on jaunty incl. some tricky parts. Now it's broken in some way. Grub seem to work well. As far as I remember I used the standard fai script from the examples, *but* removed any fcopy files/scripts, so that the deb packages take care of generating a working menu.lst file. I did not change anything at the transition to karmic.

That worked on jaunty, but now it seems broken somehow.

But since this task is kind of important to me I am going to spend some time on it. I am gonna start at early december. (Maybe I am going to switch to Lenny on the server side.) I am going to develop an Ubuntu based consumer appliance system which should enter production mid/end of next year. So maybe one day I am going to install some 1000+ hosts, maybe 10.000+? /Bent
