I tried the fai-setup again and it is giving the same error:

> WARNING: These unknown packages are removed from the installation
list:
> live-initramfs unionfs-modules-2.6-486

Looks like live-initramfs package info
(http://ppa.launchpad.net/fai/ubuntu/dists/edgy/main/binary-i386/Package
s.gz ?) has to be updated.. 

Thanks,
Shekar

Well, in general, it is not a good idea to mix package archives
containing both packages for debian and packages for ubuntu. In general,
I'd expect that archive to work with ubuntu, since both fai and
live-initramfs are arch:all packages. However, since the koeln archive
also contains arch:any packges like the uclibc and mkinitrd-cd package,
I'm not sure that this won't confuse apt with building its dependency
tree. I therefore suggest to use debian-only and ubuntu-only
apt-archives.

The repository at http://ppa.launchpad.net/fai/ubuntu is intended to be
a replacement for the uni-koeln archive for debian/etch. Thomas of
course only tests with debian, so installations with ubuntu may or may
not work with his archive.

btw, I just uploaded live-initramfs to that ppa. The binary packages are
currently being built and should appear in a few minutes in that
repository.
