beta version of next fai release available

Thomas,

>     - make FAI ready-to-use for sarge

This is great, I got a sarge machine installed after a small bit of 
fiddling [mostly my fault when trying to merge my config with it]. This 
was timed perfectly! I just realised woody wouldn't do what I needed and 
was about to start trying out sarge today. :)

>     - make the examples much easier, remove a lot of unused stuff

haven't looked into this a lot, I noticed that the 'printers' variable 
is gone, I will probably just re-add that bit to my own scripts (it was 
useful, though maybe i'm the only one using it ;-)

makes sense.

not a huge impact on my stuff, but could be useful ;-)

>     - mkdebmirror: mirrors now woody and sarge in one directory

This is also excellent, last night I mirrored sarge and realised it 
killed my woody mirror, managed to re-grab it all without too much 
hassle though.

Overall, it looks good. The only problem i've found so far is after the 
install, the network card isn't being activated on boot. A quick search 
found that 'moduleslist' in class/DEFAULT.var only had e100, not e1000 
(which I needed). I changed it to that and it worked nicely. (This used 
to be 'echo "e1000" >> $target/etc/modules' in scripts/LAST.var from 
what I can see?)

Thanks for the work you've done, Once i'm done configuring, maintenance 
of the 200 machines I look after will be a breeze.

Nicolas.
