<h01ger> Mrfai, the new fai cd, were you be able to build it completly in 
etch, or did you use sarge packages as well?
<Mrfai> I've create the mirror, nfsroot and config space on etch, create some 
tarballs, copied thos tarball to a sarge machine and build the iso image 
there.
<h01ger> so you cant build a fai cd in etch? (i'm asking not to tell other 
people something wrong)
<h01ger> and i (slowly) resumed working on the new fai cd today ;)
<Mrfai> no you can't. Except if you have a sarge chroot on an etch system.
<h01ger> well :)


btw, i commited a fix today, which hopefully fixed the faicd produced with 
live-helper (from the live.debian.net project) available at 
faicd.debian.net - sources are in svn/people/h01ger/faicd

I havent tested the change yet, as I'm busy with other stuff, but I'll test it 
tomorrow and report back.

If you download the iso from faicd.d.n today, its still broken, you need to 
boot with "vmlinuz initrd=initrd.gz boot=casper" - hopefully tomorrow the 
syslinux-config is fixed (its autobuild daily) and you can just boot the cd. 
(Which will erase your harddrive :)


regards,
