I've just come home from the skolelinux developer meeting in Bergen where I 
investigated the possibilities of using fai's softupdates capabilities for 
skolelinux installations.

One of the conclusions is this bug-report :-) 

It would be very useful to have two more default classes, FAI_INSTALL and 
FAI_SOFTUPDATE - I find the prefix "FAI_" also useful.

To "finally" answer the question of this thread: install mtop after the 
installation, either by running fai softupdate after the install (and adding 
a script to the class that installs mysql which only gets executed on 
softupdates (you could for example check on $target..) or by creating a 
script then gets run only by the very first boot of the new system.

More reports to follow :-)


regards,
	Holger
