Ah, I thought it was mandatory to upgrade to etch to run FAI 3.

I'm now also convinced it's also better not to run several nfsroots.
But what with installing 64 and 32 bit machines.  Can I do this with the
same NFS root?

Also, I read etch comes with cfengine2, but if I keep my sarge nfsroot
Idon't have to change my cfengine1 scripts.  Right?  Only if I do  a
chroot into the new system I have to know what is running.

Thanks to everyone for their comments too.
