[Andreas Schockenhoff]

Hi,

great idea to make such fai config space in public.

I test this with a USB stick. with instructions from:
(http://fai-project.org/fai-cd/) FAI CD on a USB stick (using grub2) 

For me it also worked fine. The mkisofs problem I solve by updating
fai to the newest version. 

After installing I test the procedure also on the new server. It 
worked also after some minor corrections..

In /etc/fai/make-fai-nfsroot.conf is the wrong proxy for debootstrap.

/etc/fai/grub.cfg is missing the entry for the mainserver.

The /etc/apt/sources.list is not nice. I think setting the proxy server
for apt ist better solved as a environment variable. This also make it
possible to change this easy. A broken mirror is one of the number one
problem when you use fai.

Using disk1 and disk1.2 should solve the problem with switching between
sda und vda  

This only for information because I understand this is under
construction.

debian-lan addmachine workstation1 # does not work 

debian-lan adduser user1 # does work but user can not log in.

May be fai-project.org (Thomas Lange) can help?
