Michael,

Yes,  I am really new to FAI, Xen and Debian as a matter of fact, but
I have had on the job, fly by the seat of your pants training. My
experience is with FreeBSD, or at least it was.


Um this is going to sound a little silly, but I set up a lab in the
office, away from our Colo servers for testing, and well it is working
now.

Dam sorry for waisting any of your time here, but thank you for your
help and assistance. I will just start to compare the differences
between the FAI installs on both servers..... Colo and the Office Lab
server.



Kind Regards,

Kurt Larsen
