Re: Install on many machines
For our needs, FAI seems to be the more flexible solution.
Although the hardware is basically the same, it might
proof valuable to have several configurations to choose
from.
Anyone experience with FAI?
I've just set up a new woody machine and downloaded
the stuff. Still the docs get slightly confusing
after the very clear introduction.
For example, fai-setup throws *a lot* of dependency
warnings and complains about exim (which is not installed)
Cheers,
Marcel
