I'm installing ubuntu 15.10 via FAI. Actually, all I did was take a

easy it is to do something like that. The main problem I'm having is
that there is no netwo

It appears that the howto on installing ubuntu via fai is gone. The one
part of that I still need are the instructions on creating a basefile.
Can anyone either point me to the missing documentation or tell me how
tocreate a basefile for Ubuntu Artful Aarvvark (17.10)?

I tried doing a global replace on the mk-basefile script
s/XENIAL/ARTFUL/g but when I ran the modified script, it created a 4k
file that didn't work as a basefile. So then I just copied the Ubuntu
zesty/17.04 basefile to artful/17.10 and it appears to have worked. An
installation is proceeding
Fai now generates a nice /etc/network/interfaces file with the new
interface nameing scheme. No more eth0. However, Ubuntu 17.10 no longer
uses /etc/network/interfaces.

it is hard to say what you need to do without knowing specifically what
problems you are having. What you want to do probably isn't that
different than what we all have to deal with when upgrading our FAI
configuration for a new release of our chosen linux flavor. I'm
currently switching from U
I know this is a long shot but does anybody have any idea why my
keyboard caps lock key might not work after doing an FAI install? I'm
installing ubuntu 17.10 (artful) and it looks as if the caps lock key is
remapped to act like a second left control key.

I'm having a problem with my FAI installs. The target machine comes
upunable to create a /tmp/fai/fai.log. So I can't really tell where the
problem begins. If I try to create the directory /tmp/fai/, I get the
error "Operation not permitted". I would assume that means the root file

Yes, that's t
Just a note ... You can still use syslinux/pxelinux to do FAI installs
for both EFI and BIOS. In other words, you don't have to switch to grub,
you can still use the syslinux pxe config files you created via fai-chboot.

Are you sure the problem isn't in the boot sequence on your host? If you
have pxe/net boot before disk, it is going to pxe boot over and over.
The reason I ask is that in my experience, if the disk is partitioned,
