Hi there,

even there's only a minor release change, some important things have
changes in FAI. FAI is splitted into two packages. The package
fai-kernel contains the two install kernels and is approx. 10MB big
and will not change very frequently. The package fai is now a small
file which only contains the scripts and templates. First install the
package fai-kernels, fai.

I made changes to the organisation of directory class/ and the
scripts. I hope it's now clearer how it works and easier to use.
There was not much effort to extend the manuals. But it's still in
progress.

Sometimes dpkg gets a segmentation fault. For me, this happens only if
I used the class DEBIAN_DEVEL, so this class is disabled by default.

Now get your new version from
			http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/
and please report any bugs or comments.


changelog:
fai (1.4.1) unstable; urgency=low

  * swap order of class ALL and hostname
  * CLASS ALL renamed to DEFAULT
  * templates/class/S*.source files renamed
  * scripts in class/ reorganized. First *.{sh,pl) are executed, then
    $class.source are sourced for all defined classes
  * install kernels removed, now included in package fai-kernels
  * hdparm available in nfsroot, sysinfo prints hparm -i
  * classs/ATA33.source can tune harddisk during installation
  * class DEBIAN_DEVEL commented out, because this software package list
    mostly segfaults dpkg
  * base?_?.tgz now included in nfsroot; BASETGZ not needed any more
  * bug fixed: setup_harddisk don't mount preserved partitions if mount
    point is not in root directory
  * bug fixed: no dns support during chroot in make-fai-nfsroot
