cfengine ... ???
I didn't know this tool before using FAI.
I'm currently rewriting all my configuration's scripts using this tool
It can be perfectly integrated with FAI.

How i did it in a few words:
Put your cfengine scripts (DEFAULT.conf) in /usr/local/share/fai/cfengine
create a script DEFAULT/S90
echo "Starting Ultimate Default Configuration" >> /tmp/fai/cfengine.log
echo "cd /fai/cfengine; cfengine -f DEFAULT.conf -d3" | $ROOTCMD >> 
/tmp/fai/cfengine.log
echo "Finishing Ultimate Default Configuration" >> /tmp/fai/cfengine.log

Do you want my scripts ???
