fai-cd for full cd installation

[akr lot]

Thank you for your reply.
I have already read almost everything google can find about fai-cd before
posting here.Here's my problem: when i run fai-cd it complains about
missing packages. And i want to know if i need to modify /etc/fai/menu.lst
or leave the default configuration.
