Hi,

thanks for your answer. I tried this method, but when I run the 
make-fai-bootfloppy command, it fails to find the files because they are 
not in /srv/fai/nfsroot but in /srv/fai/nfsroot/live/filesystem.dir.

So, I tried something else :
I ran the fai-cd command, burn a cdrom and boot the client with this cdrom.
Then I choose to install a demohost.
I enter the password and it fails with this message :
"/init: .: 150: Can't open /scripts/live"


Have you got an Idea ?


tks
Jean-Paul
