The last time I checked, etch make-fai-nfsroot would not work on amd64.
Still waiting for libapt-*-perl.

I've got a 4-core opteron here, with lots of RAM. 

I cannot share it before mid-next week though (and it's in private address
space, and it will be reconfigured several times) ... but after that, 
probably something can be arranged. Will this be a nightly task?

BTW, what about building ISOs for other archs as well?
