So my question is: can I manually install a very simple Debian system, and

FAI perform the actual server configuration / installation?
What you want to do is softupdates.
You don't need an nfs share, you can use a config space somewhere on
the filesystem of the machine to be installed, or one some subversion
server accessible from the system.
All you need to do then is configure the config space location in
fai.conf and fai softupdate
This I can do, yes. So I would just need to install a bare Debian
system, the fai package, change a config file, and the rest of the
install would go unattended... Fair enough, considering my constraints.
Check out the documentation parts about softupdates.
This has the nice side effect that I wanted to study softupdates to
maintain my servers up to date anyway. It's a god thing I can use the
same mechanism to install and administer servers.
Thanks,
Olivier.
