Hi John,
yep, I remember that you need the speakup module. In 3.4.8 we changed
the menu.lst for the fai CD. Before it contained the parameters:
ip=192.168.1.1:::::eth0:off
or similar. But the ip= parameter did not worked with new
live-boot versions, so it was completely removed. Now we also use
grub2 and grub.cfg.
I hope this helps for now

Well, I've made a little progress. I modified the grub.conf in /etc/fai and
I see that the grub.cnf file in the iso file reflects the changes I made.
So the man page for fai-cd says fai-cd uses the file /usr/share/fai/menu.lst
but, apparently, that is depricated. You need to edit /etc/fai/grub.conf
instead.
I modified the file /detc/fi/grub.conf and added ip=:::::eth0:dhcp to each
of the lines that said boot=live. But it did not seem to work. The
live-boot man page says the ip= parameter should work. I mean, I don't know
if my configuration is correct but its still supported according to the
live-boot man page.
