My apologies in advance, this e-mail client does not appear to permit bottom posting nor do I have the freedom to choose my e-mail client.
I use a APT mirror and I put the settings in /etc/fai/apt/sources.list on the FAI server (this is for FAI 4.3.1). Once I do “fai-make-nfsroot” the file gets copied to the NFSROOT on the FAI server. Did you run “fai-make-nfsroot” after you updates /etc/fai/apt/sources.list?

I’ve run "fai-mirror /srv/mirror" on faiserver. However it’s not clear to me how this gets served to the client. I’ve tried setting /etc/fai/apt/sources.list to point to faiserver, and that failed. I’ve tried defining FAI_DEBMIRROR=nfs://faiserver/srv/mirror. This caused the install to stop saying it could not perform the nfs mount. However, I could perform the mount from the command line so I know the file system is exported properly. This if FAI 5.0.1 Thanks, Ron
