AW: Re: running fai from rescue system

[David Hausheer]

You can boot the rescue system and install new packages. But these 
changes will only apply locally as the rescue root partition is a 
ramdisk, not mounted over NFS, AFAIK.

As this is a Hetzner-related question, you may want to check the Hetzner 
forum at http://wiki.hetzner.de/index.php/Hetzner_Rescue-System for 
further infos.

David
