It's ok.
I've forgot to put the "ubuntu-minimal" package inside the NFSROOT.
I'am surely going to make an "FAI 3.2.4 with Ubuntu Gutsy How-To"
I've read that many of us have troubles with FAI and ubuntu.

Now I got the last version of FAI working under Ubuntu 7.10.
There are some little things to fix before I can wrote an HowTo :)

Thanks
