Hi, I just read an interesting article about FAI [1] (Fully Automatic Installer), which present itself as : "FAI - Fully Automatic Installation FAI is an automated installation tool to install or deploy Debian GNU/Linux and other distributions on a bunch of different hosts or a Cluster. It's more flexible than other tools like kickstart for Red Hat, autoyast and alice for SuSE or Jumpstart for SUN Solaris. FAI can also be used for configuration management of a running system. You can take one or more virgin PCs, turn on the power and after a few minutes Linux is installed, configured and running on all your machines, without any interaction necessary." Maybe it's relevant to the _controversy_ debate ? And best news is: aptitude search fai p fai-client - Fully Automatic Installation client package p fai-doc - Documentation for FAI p fai-nfsroot - Fully Automatic Installation nfsroot package p fai-quickstart - Fully Automatic Installation quickstart package p fai-server - Fully Automatic Installation server package [1] http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/ Tom -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
