Hi folks,
on http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/download/developers there's
the new beata version of the next fai release available. Please have a
look at it and reports major problems within one week. Also send me an
email, if an important patch was not applied to it. In the next days I
will fixe the fai guide, and then I plan to release it in one or two
weeks.
Here are the most important news:
- make FAI ready-to-use for sarge
- make the examples much easier, remove a lot of unused stuff
- fai.conf is split into two files, make-fai-nfsroot specific
variables are moved to /etc/fai/make-fai-nfsroot.conf
- make-fai-nfsroot: more packages for hardware detection included,
write a warning if $FAI_SOURCES_LIST is used
- rcS_fai: if a file /.nocolorlogo exists, do not enable colored
logo and let scroll region unchanged
- 06hwdetect.source: new call of discover2, includes now code of
11modules.source
- task_sysinfo: show serial numbers of hard disks, show usb
information
- fai-chboot with PXE can now use localboot, so we need not copy
the kernel image and initrd to the install server, new option -d
- grub-install does not probe floppy drive (which can hang the system
for a long time)
- mkdebmirror: mirrors now woody and sarge in one directory
