Package: fai-bootcd Licence: GPL Description: FAI BootCD - bootable CD for non-interactive Debian installs Scripts to create an FAI BootCD - a bootable iso9660 image for use with FAI - to perform non-interactive, automated installations of Debian GNU/Linux meta-distributions without network connectivity. FAI (http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/) performs non-interactive installations of Debian. FAI BootCD (http://holbytla.org/fai/) puts all of this onto a bootable CD so installation can be done without network connectivity. FAI classes describe a completely customised installation of Debian - disk partitioning and filesystems, required packages, and post installation scripts to further customise the install (e.g. apply patches, copy over custom configuration files, cfengine scripts etc.). When a host has been properly defined into an FAI class, fai-bootcd can perform the installation non-interactively and replicate the host with 100% accuracy within minutes. Small installs take about 3-4 mins, larger ones are dependent on disk size and if filesystems are recreated, mine are about 8-10 mins from power on to login prompt on a completely installed and configured system. The next step is to perform an FAI installation into a chroot, bypass disk partitioning etc. and use this as the basis for building bootable, live CD filesystems out of any FAI class definition. i.e. completely customised Knoppix style bootable CDs. After that, integration with d-i to make non-interactive installs a standard feature of official Debian CDs. apt source: deb http://holbytla.org/fai/debian sarge main A woody pool is also available, but I'm putting v0.3.3 in the sarge pool up for review.
