fai 2.6 and fai-kernels 1.7 are out now!

[Thomas Lange]

Two new FAI packages are available!

The new package is available at the FAI homepage and are
uploaded to the Debian mirrors.

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

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

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

fai-kernels now includes a 2.4.26 and a 2.6.7 kernel for the installation.

New in FAI 2.6

    - 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 $FAI_SOURCES_LIST is used
    - rcS_fai: if a file /.nocolorlogo exists, do not enable colored
      logo and let scroll region unchanged
    - 06hwdetect.source: better hardware detection uses discover2,
      load all pci IDE drivers, enables DMA mode for disks, include
      code of 11modules.source
    - task_sysinfo: show serial numbers of hard disks, show usb
      information
    - tasks can set return code ($terror) so faimond receives it
    - faimond receives more messages
    - fai-chboot: new options -d, can use localboot, so we need not
      copy the kernel image and initrd to the install server
    - grub-install does not probe floppy drive (which can hang the system
      for a long time)
    - install_packages: add option -L, new code for detecting unknown
      package names which uses perl module AptPkg
    - mkdebmirror: mirrors now woody and sarge in one directory
