Hi, I presume it's possible to put fai-server package
on a machine of certain arch and have clients be
on a different arch. I'm am thinking of installing
amd64 clients using intel server. Can I have different
nfsroot partitions depending on the architecture?


 I notice the
fai-kernels package seems to be architecture dependent
but it seems to me that one should be able to install these
kernels on an fai server irrespective of the server's architecture
and make them available for different clients?

ps. I want to do this on Ubuntu FAI server and Ubuntu clients...I
have version 3.1.1 of fai.
