Hello list,

I'm having an Ubuntu 9.04 Server and want to install 9.04 Clients using

I've managed to successfully install Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty (FAI
3.2.4+svn4837) from a Debian Lenny Server (FAI 3.2.17). Everything works
well, except that the client's console keyboard layout is set to the
standard US layout by default. I've been struggling for quite a while

Hi Jeff,
sure, I can post a Ubuntu Jaunty FAI HowTo. But I'd like to get rid of

How should I name it?

Hi Stephan,
you are right, and thinking about it, this isn't needed for this FAI
installation anyway, as FAI_ALLOW_UNSIGNED is set to true in BC_BASE.var.

Using apt-proxy instead of debmirror was done just out of simplicity.

if I understand you correctly, you already have a DHCP server separate

Hi Riza,
there is no need to edit the NFSROOT file. The nfsroot has nothing to do
with the system later installed (it is the base.tgz that is relevant for
the system to be installed). Leave it to the default [1] and see if

that's probably due to a missing package. You could do a standard Ubuntu

The server doesn't need to be a powerhorse. As the FAI server in normal
operation hardly doesn't do more than serving the files via TFTP and
NFS, maybe additionally serving software packages if you are using the
FAI server as a package mirror, it basically depends on how many clients
