ah, ok. Just for debugging I choosed the - for me - easier way.
Actually it is a test system, so it does not really matter yet,
it is more important to get it running.

Yes, it complains about rdate and connection refused. But this is
a minor problem. Then it fails to mount the mirror, this is ok in
the moment, the mirror is not complete and therefore it is not
exported at all.

So I am happy and optimistic to get FAI running.

Again: Many thanks and best regards
