Re: / under soft raid 1.
[...] Actually, this is supposed to be integrated with FAI 3.3; for the moment you need to do some manual steps: Take a look at http://faiwiki.debian.net/index.php/Storage_Magic, which documents to proposed new tool and the necessary steps to run it. Nice to see this is being worked on. However I didn't see any possibility to add a disk label. Or did I miss that? Just to be sure about the terminology: Do you mean partition table formats like msdos, gpt, and others, or rather partition labels (which one does using mkfs.XXX -L)? Both of which are possible using the new tool, but I'm just not sure what you're after. Best, Michael pgpLv6iCHusmC.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: Installing ruby gems

It's no problem to add the ruby packages, but in order to install rails I have to use the ruby package management tool gems. I thought that adding a script that calls gem install --include-dependencies rails Yuo have to call this command inside the new system (using chroot), which is mounted to /target during installation. Try this $ROOTCMD gem install --include-dependencies rails $ROOTCMD will do the chroot /target for you, or during a softupdate it's just empty. -- regards Thomas
