Hi Thomas,

i've found it useful to edit the sources.list file on the cd myself, so i threw together this little patch to fai-cd:

--- ../../fai-2.8.3/scripts/fai-cd      2005-04-20 08:41:41.000000000 -0500
+++ fai-cd      2005-05-31 13:00:10.000000000 -0500

     mount --bind $tmp1 $NFSROOT/etc/apt/sources.list
     customize_nfsroot
     echo "Writing FAI CD-ROM image to $isoname. This may need some time."

it steals /etc/fai/sources.list.cd, instead of using a built in one. i prefer it.

(if you're wondering, i'm fai-mirror'ing from a debian mirror that only has main)

Hope this helps, prefer if it makes it upstream,
