thanks, I install these now. I rewrite little fai.conf and try to use it.
but client goes panic:

I use my own kernel and also kernel from fai-kernels_1.5, it's 2.4.20.
my configuration is /etc/fai/fai.conf:
installserver=moon
ftpserver=ftp.debian.org
debdist=woody # distribution: woody, sarge, sid
FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP="$debdist http://debian:9999/main"
FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP_OPTS="--arch i386 --exclude=pcmcia-cs,ppp,pppconfig,pppoe,pppoeconf"
