Hi,
I also only use apt via http, usually with squid as a proxy.
I do this, due the ease of setup and because I can use http everywhere. Using
nfs is faster though: with http, the .debs get first downloaded (and written)
to /var/cache/apt/archives and then are unpacked, while if you use nfs

No, not really. I did some performance tests in the past, and there were
no real differences in the installation times. Sometimes http was slightly
faster than NFS, but I think this

How do you automate fai installations? :)
It seems like a loop or a joke: automate an automatic installation ;).
I mean what's the normal use of FAI in a lab? You run something like:
fai-setup -v
and then
fai-chboot -IFv specialhosts*
You reboot manually? the computers and let them install.
I continue with some tests from my recently created fai,
live-initramfs and initramfs-tools packages. These packages make
possible Ubuntu 8.10 to serve Ubuntu 8.10 for the install clients.
I will upload these packages soon and probably send the .diff files
here at the list for you to

Hello,
I installed the fai-server version 3.2.15.
Running make-fai-nfsroot I get the following message:

I guess, a proper initrd has to come already with the kernel.
not really, because dpkg-reconfigure linux-image... should be called,
which creates the initrd.

Use fai-chboot for that.
See man fai-chboot for more information. You have to call

I have to say that I have some errors written at errors.log when
installing (after running fai-chboot -IFv and booting).
Let's have a look at the code in lib/subroutines:

Where am I supposed to add reboot FAI_FLAGS?
The guide says something about FAI_FLAGS at Bootp daemon but I use dhcp.
So I re-ask my question. What's the best way for modiying FAI_FLAGS?
Thank you.
