the client really has the debconf information we're told we can set in
the $FAI_CONFIGDIR/debconf/ directory. Based on the log entries

How can I get more information on what's going on from install_packages?
Is there a better way besides set -x and echo?
if you add verbose to FAI_FLAGS, install_packages is called with -v.
There's
If you have any troubles during the boot process of your install
clients and they can't mount the nfsroot, you like to have a shell for
debuging.
You can get a shell by adding break=bottom as kernel parameter (in
a pxelinux.cfg file). This stops the boot process and spaws a shell

An another point: for the first tests I manually changed the initrd, but
for going in production I prefer make-fai-nfsroot just coming back
with the initrd I need. Maybe I don't see it,
I just uploaded FAI 3.2.15 which mostly fixes documentation errors but
also two minor bugs. setup-storage now says if a partition is
preserved or resized. A bug when using multiple network cards was also
fixed.
As usual, packages are available from all Debian mirros and from

Using nfs is faster though:
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

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