Sorry if you don't feel well, but it would be very helpful to read mails
before replying - that happens too often on this list, for my taste.

Thanks for this additional information! Now I understand - the directory
full of iso's was a bit cryptic to read as a reply.

I surely will look into it.

The GRML idea came, because I anyway filled something in their
wishlist-form - not because I don't like your faicd project (but I also
knew, your cd is an install cd, no live-cd).

If they had included fai-quickstart, just by me filling this form, it
would be great, because no work at all for any of us.

Now that it's clear that some more research is necessary, I will explore
multiple possible ways, including your project.

A bonus we get from having a working FAI server on a GRML live cd is,
that grml is a well known project, and can be used for more than just a
FAI server - so we get publicity and new users from the GRML user base.

I'll have to finish other projects before getting deeper into this,
anyhow...
