The packages should be installed on the install clients. There is no need to have them in the nfsroot. Thanks for pointing me into it. I simply overlooked it. Now it's clear that I can define a /srv/fai/config/files/etc/apt/sources.list/DEFAULT and a corresponding /srv/fai/config/package_config/DEFAULT.ascĀ Second problem has been https, but I belive I already found the simplest solution. For this to work you need apt-transport-https and ca-certificates. When you just put them in /etc/fai/NFSROOT it is not enough and you get an: "E: The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/https could not be found." while booting into the nfsroot. This is because of $target and $ROOTCMD are called from nfsroot during updatebase / instsoft. So you must include them in /etc/fai/nfsroot.conf to be included in the basefile: FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP_OPTS="--exclude=info --include=apt-transport-https,ca- certificates" So again: Thanks a lot! Christian
