Yes > Do you care that some configuration differs from a "normal" ubuntu > installation? e.g. No. The reason is, that I see "vendor install" as a starting point. Every distributor (hopefully) tries to guess really hard, what their intended userbase might need and what not - but ultimately it's a futile attempt. I specify the stuff I really want and let FAI figure out which required packages have to be installed in order to get there. (Works pretty well for Debian and Ubuntu, SuSE is a bit more tricky.) tschüß thomas
