I'm using FAI to automatically install Debian Squeeze in a laptop of mine.
I've been able to do everything that I wanted by reading the documentation,
except for one thing: every time the installation finishes (and the system
reboots automatically, as I ask it to), the recently installed client boots
again through the LAN (as expected) but begins the installation process
again (something that I want to avoid).
Is there an automatic way to make the client prevent itself from
reinstalling after the first install? I want it to install itself again
only if needed using the fai-chboot program, but not every time.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
this is done with a hook ...
http://fai-project.org/fai-guide/ar01s07.html#_anchor_id_hooks_xreflabel_hooks_hooks
the recipe can probably be found somewhere on fai-project.org but here's an
example:
tutor:/export/home/fai/config# cat hooks/chboot.DEFAULT
#! /bin/bash
# hook for fai. Set boot to local
set -xv
SCRIPTNAME=`basename $0`
skiptask=`echo $SCRIPTNAME | sed "s/\..*$//"`
cd /tmp
TFTPCONFDIR="/boot/fai/pxelinux.cfg"
SSHUSER=fai
TFTPSERVER=$installserver
HOSTNAME="local"
BOOTIP=`ifconfig "$netdevices_up" | grep 'inet addr:' | sed "s/[^:]*://" | cut -d " " -f1
| sed "s/\./ /g"`
BOOTIP=`printf "%02X%02X%02X%02X\n" $BOOTIP`
echo Next Boot will boot or install: $HOSTNAME on $BOOTIP.
case $HOSTNAME in
local)
ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no $SSHUSER@$TFTPSERVER "mv
$TFTPCONFDIR/$BOOTIP $TFTPCONFDIR/$BOOTIP\.disable ; \cp $TFTPCONFDIR/local
$TFTPCONFDIR/$BOOTIP " ;;
*)
ssh $SSHUSER@$TFTPSERVER "\cp $TFTPCONFDIR/$HOSTNAME
$TFTPCONFDIR/$BOOTIP" ;;
esac
skiptask $skiptask
# End of hook chboot.DEFAULT
