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(instead of the versions contained in Debian apt repositores for the specific version of the distribution):
- download it from: http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/download/
- add this to your /etc/apt/sources.list, as well as /etc/fai/apt/sources.list(to get the correct fai-nfsroot package into the nfsroot) - depending on which flavor you want:
deb http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/download sarge koeln deb http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/download etch koeln deb http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/download developers 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")
