FAI release 2.4 is available !
Sorry guys, but I forget to announce it in your Beowulf mailling list.
The new FAI release 2.4 is now available !
It was a very long time without a new release. But now it's time to
upgrade! FAI version 2.4 is tested with Debian 3.0 aka woody. There
are many, many improvements included especially
- lots of changes in the templates scripts
- kernel 2.4.20 support
- use a stand alone script for defining classes
The new package is available at the FAI homepage
http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/
and also on the Debian mirrors. Many thanks to all who were involved
into the process of improving FAI. Please send any comment, bug
report and enhancements to fai@informatik.uni-koeln.de. You will
notice that the news are getting longer from one version to the next ;-)
FAI is an automated system to install a Debian GNU/Linux operating
system on a Linux Cluster. You can take one or more virgin PCs, turn
on the power and after a few minutes Linux is installed, configured
and running on the whole cluster, without any interaction
necessary. Thus it's a scalable method for installing and updating a
Beowulf cluster or a network of workstations unattended with little
effort involved. FAI uses the Debian distribution and a collection of
shell- and Perl-scripts for the installation process. Changes to the
configuration files of the operating system are made by cfengine,
shell and Perl scripts.
