I understand, but if someone (in my group) does the unfortunate thing of running fai-chboot -o default, it'll overwrite it with a non-working default. Maybe there could be a feature where fai-chboot could read the /etc/fai/fai.conf file and there could be a new attribute in there pointing to a file which is the new default. If the attribute isn't present, do the current behavior. > > I do have one question though, in the fai-monitor output I see this: > > (none) check > > (none) TASKBEGIN confdir > > (none) TASKEND confdir 0 > > (none) TASKBEGIN setup > > (none) TASKEND setup 0 > > .... > > The installing client machine has the ability to map the ip address dhcp > > gave it back to a name and the fai server can too.
