No. My next task is to write a complete new documentation. Until it's
ready, you can ask me all kind of questions concerning FAI 1.3.0test1,
and I think we will get FAI work on your server.

What are your problems ?

I think you would never get FAI 1.0 work on a woody
workstation. Please try the newest FAI version, and I will help you.

FAI isn't an official Debian package yet, so you have to download it
from informatik.uni-koeln.de.
