I think you put me on the right track here. I will try this next time.

I didn't, the password is already edited for this list ;)

sure, I will. but first I need to get through the job ;)

another remark I have: I had to disable the "chboot" task, since the 
installation stalled each time, because "ssh" was requesting an 
interactive confirmation when adding the new host key for the 
fai-server during outward connection. how is the strict host key 
checking disabled in general?

thanks again,
