Two new releases of fai and fai-kernels!

[Thomas Lange]

fai 2.5.3 and fai-kernels 1.6 are released.

Everything is still running with woody, but maybe the next release
will be tested only with sarge. Now we use a 2.4.24 kernel (also with woody).

The option -c for make-fai-bootfloppy and make-fai-nfsroot helps to
support multiple nfsroot environments on one install server. The use
of the variable FAI_SOURCES_LIST is now deprecated, but still
possible. Create a file /etc/fai/sources.list instead. If you install
your clients with sarge, have a look a chkdebnames, which helps you
identify unknown package names.

The new packages are available at the FAI homepage and will be
uploaded soon.

or you can add following line to your sources.list file:

    deb http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/ download/


New in FAI 2.5.3

    - default kernel is 2.4.24
    - add option -c to make-fai-{nfsroot,bootfloppy} to define a
      different configuration directory than /etc/fai
    - make-fai-bootfloppy: add option -c and -F, now DHCP is the
      default protocol when -d is not used
    - fai.conf: exclude more packages from debootstrap
      adjust KERNELPACKAGE to new name (since fai-kernels_1.6)
      put important variables to the top
      remove some comments
    - fai-chboot: new option -S sets FAI_ACTION=sysinfo
    - The variable FAI_SOURCES_LIST is now obsolete,
      use /etc/fai/sources.list or /etc/apt/sources.list instead
    - new examples for sources.list in
      /usr/share/doc/fai/examples/etc/sources.list
    - remove some packages that are not needed and not available in
      sarge
    - utility chkdebnames mostly rewritten
    - package recommends mknbi, and does not work with netboot package
      when using BOOTP
