> thanks for your help. I would like to try the build a debian jessie nsf root and a debian jessie initrd, which will install the Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. > As I understand I have to add jessie sources inside nfsroot.conf and run the fai-make-nfsroot without using -B option (using special base.tar.gz). After succesfully building the nfs root and initrd I will change the base.tar.gz inside the nfsroot under /var/tmp/. You should run fai-make-nfsroot -v. You do not need to change the base.tar.gz. > When running the initrd the base.tar.gz (which has been replaced with one for Ubunut1404) will be extracted to /target/ and I can install al missing packages and so on. Just download the Ubuntu base from http://fai-project.org/download/basefiles/TRUSTY64.tar.xz and put it into /srv/fai/config/basefiles. That's it. BTW, I will upload FAI 5.0.1 today or tomorrow. It includes a minor fix for Ubuntu. In 5.0 the demo user was not added to some groups. See https://github.com/faiproject/fai/commit/c1d839591282c6faf1e0eaa0d5838d931f3f08b8 -- regards Thomas
