Hello and welcome to the FAI wiki.
This is a public wiki for FAI - Fully Automatic Installation - a tool for automatic installation of Debian and other Linux Distributions. It's a place for users and developers of FAI to share information. If you have some information on FAI to share, see the page wiki registration - you need to write a mail, because we can't handle the spam otherwise. Also, please read editing rules.
getting FAI
if you want the latest and greatest version:
- download it from: http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/download/
- add this to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/download sarge koeln
- install it within debian sid
- check out the sources from subversion:
svn co svn://svn.debian.org/svn/fai/trunk fai-sources
(will require building the package by entering the directory and do something like "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot")
documentation and examples
- Main documentation for FAI is the fai guide: Either in english, french, romanian
- FAI Homepage
- Resources - there are some information resources about FAI available "out there", as well as some unofficial developer branches, that are handled somewhere else until that code is incoporated in the FAI main Branch - and we want to point to them.
- Wishlist (for those users that can't use the debian bts for reporting a bug of type wishlist and for developers who want to know what users wish)
- reporting bugs and also maybe find fixes for problems that you might encounter when using FAI.
- example classes and helper scripts - classes and small code contributions that are not (already) part of the FAI distribution
- Howtos
- Success Stories - who is using FAI, how and why - and, when available pictures of the machines installed with FAI :)
- User reports by filling out the FAI questionnaire (TODO: create a webform for this)
- user FAQ ( from questions in the mailing list and on IRC oftc.net #fai) - We took the contents of the old and somewhat unmaintained fai faqmatic to this wiki to have all information more centralized. Please use the Wiki from now on.
- linux-fai mailing list infos (Netiquette, how to subscribe and use)
- this wiki needs a Logo
Developer information
- Stuff for people interested in helping with FAI: Developers information
- A new partitioning tool: setup_harddisks_2
Wiki Information
- About this Wiki - info on this wiki
- help for editing (mainly mediawiki documentation links)
- editing rules - some ideas that make collaborative work here easier
- practice wiki writing here
