Hi. Hijacking thread for a possibly quick question: is a migration to isc-kea planned ? isc-dhcp-server has been obsoleted, but the tests we've done highlighted many problems with the change (at leas with isc's upstream packages, not tested yet with Debian ones). Tks, Diego Il 17/01/2025 12

Hi, I've already successfully booted an ARM64 server via UEFI/PXE using FAI. No installation was done, because this was a special FAI environment, were no installation is needed, but some hardware testing tools are used. FAI 6.2.5 also includes some new code for creating a FAI-CD for arm64. I cou
