# Informal meeting to discuss Debian on OSCAR & FAI work
Attendees:
----------
- Hugues Prisker (EDF/INRIA)
- Geoffroy Vallee (U.Rien/INRIA/ORNL)
- John, Thomas (ORNL)
NOTES:
------
[FAI]
- description based installer, similar to a KickStart mechanism
- What config info is needed?S
o MAC / IP / etc. to build => 'dhcpd.conf'
[which we currently do using the 'mksidhcpdconfig' (sp?) SIS tool]
o disk partition
[which we currently do using the oscarsamples/*disk* files]
o Network setting, e.g., resolv.conf, nsswitcher.conf, DNS, etc.
[which we currently do using the networking pkg, etc.]
[also we use getent so that should be goodness in this area]
- Since using Debian, need to have a PackMan/DepMan module
[Misc]
- After further discussion we realized that after we have a PackMan/DepMan
module (which Geoffroy V. volunteered to look into) we could then push
on looking at initial work using SIS/Debian and later changing
out the actual 'IAT' (installer application thingy) to use "FAI" instead of
"SIS".
