And yes, I will fix the Wiki variables table.
What's you oppinion? Any more whishes?
Interesting questions...
Your answers make sense, but I guess I need to be led there? As I tried
to understand FAI, some of my previous questions were:
* Typical for laptop: eth0/DVD/USB to build an OS, but wlan0 for
softupdate?
* Recommendation: Build the OS in minutes on a VLAN with a custom DHCP
then exist for years on LAN & Internet with multiple generic DHCPs?
* Design for FAI: Output NFSROOT=/srv... & Input =IP/srv in one file
-- faiserver:/etc/fai/nfsroot.conf a dual-use file?
* Design for FAI: Input FAI_CONFIG_SRC in .../fai.conf but
input/output NFSROOT in .../nfsroot.conf?
* Has there been consideration for fai & faid similar to ssh & sshd?
Such client-server separation might simplify variable assignments?
* Has there been consideration for building the install kernel from
the .../config/ database to permit /etc/fai/NFSROOT move to
class=INSTALLK?
* Will senility precede IPv6? (humor)
These kinds of questions have answers, some I already know, but are not
considered appropriate to ask. After all, my job is to understand how
FAI is to be used as-is in todays world. If we met at Oktoberfest over
a beer I might explore similar lines of questions, but not as a casual user.
Wishes? Publish documentation in step with the FAI Rev release date --
perhaps even earlier at the unstable stage, prior to completion of testing.
From time to time, I've wondered how I might contribute to FAI but thus
far have no answer.
