does this mean FAI 3.3.1 fully supports Ubuntu Karmic? Or is this a work
in progress?

How did you install GRUB2? I'm currently having a hard time installing
it.
Hi Bent,
since we are just on the topic, did you install GRUB2 on the Karmic

What server platform do you run the fai server on? Is this Karmic as well?
Cheers,
Robert
