Perhaps you should look at the code and at the documentation I pointed
to. I took extra care so the changes to fai itself are minimal, (very
minor changes in subroutines-linux) and most additional stuff is
distributed in an extra package.

It is also 100% backwards compatible to FAI 2.9.

What do you think is missing? If you're curious and want to look into
the details of the packages, You can get everything in Subversion, as
pointed to in the documentation, anybody who wants to easily install it
in some simple steps, gets it readily packaged. I thought that is
enough, but if you think I should provide a diff to the unchanged FAI
2.9, that's no problem at all.
