reading this mail, I remember that exactly this is what could be happened to me when I filed the (now closed) debian bugreport (and it obviously occures not too rare): https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=777215 So: isn't it possible to "merge" both configuration files (nfsroot.conf and sources.list) in order to avoid mixing debian versions? This is more robust against beginners misconfiguration and possibly simplifies life for more advanced users. Of course "real merging" isn't possible, but what about modifying /etc/fai/nfsroot.conf to something like: DISTRIBUTION=$(cat /etc/fai/apt/sources.list | grep -Em1 '(.debian.|.ubuntu.)' | cut -d\ -f2') CODENAME=$(cat /etc/fai/apt/sources.list | grep -Eom1 '( squeeze | wheezy | jessie | trusty | utopic | vivid )') FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP="$CODENAME $DISTRIBUTION" (Note: I don't know if a given proxy in /etc/fai/apt/sources.list behaves well with debootstrap) When you don't like it: A hint in /etc/fai/nfsroot.conf would be nice. Many people (now including me) know it, it's just about making FAI more newbie-friedly. Thank you Christian Meyer
