Ok, as said, it wont be a big problem if TKK/TKY is in charge of the DNS, as long as we're in for DHCP... but please ask anyway. > We'll propably have wired access with HUT dhcp on friday, and wlan > operational on monday.

As said various times I want to (and we hopefully will) use FAI for all machines. Not for installs (therefore we should modified (read prepared with preseeding) d-i-images), but for deploying the configurations. Even if you do it manually on some machines, we can copy this into FAIs configdir and then either distribute it to machines with the same config or redistribute a changed config. FAI will be usable as soon as the net is (it is allready (so you can try it now - howto-url at the end of this paragraph), and has been tested on i386/amd64 and powerpc ) and I can give you an short introduction ASAP how to use it... during my journay to HEL I will further improve the written documentation (specific to debconf5) as well.

Ok, ok. :-) So I'll send a mail to -event explaining "dont bring your APs". regards, Holger
