The new year starts with a new FAI release. A new command (fai-mirror)
was added, which can be used to create a partitial Debian mirror, if
you can't create a complete mirror for your architecture with
mkdebmirror. With fai-mirror(1) you will only download packages that
are used in your classes in package_config. This command will also be
used for creating parts of the fai CD.


New in FAI 2.6.6

  - new command fai-mirror(1) to create a partitial Debian mirror
  - setup_harddisks: bug fix: error redefined mountpoint is wrongly
    reported, allow space before keywords primary and logical
  - install_packages: add option -f
  - task_sysinfo calls hwinfo if available (very nice hardware info)
  - 06hwdetect.source: SCSI detect code for 2.6 kernel
  - new variable FAICLIENTS in make-fai-nfsroot.conf. Used by
    fai-setup for exporting the nfsroot and the config space via NFS
  - create a list of all packages in base.tgz (for fai CD)
  - ftar: test if directory is / before removing files recursively
  - enable shadow passwords for passwd and group in examples
  - save files FAI_CLASSES, variables.sh and disk_var.sh to
    /var/log/fai not to /etc/fai
  - add supprt for booting from CD
  - other bug fixes
