Read the announcement including a small HowTo.

Distribution specific stuff

Scientific Linux Cern

FAI 3.4.8 and the config space examples from 4.0 can install SCL 5 and 6. Ready-made basefiles are available at http://fai-project.org/download/basefiles/.

RHEL5 and 6

A more verbose description on how to do this with SLES9 is available here

Bootstrapping the base images for other distributions

Have a look at examples/simple/basefiles/mk-basefile. Works for Ubuntu, CentOS, SLC. For RPM based distributions it uses rinse, which also support some old versions of OpenSUSE.
