  Hello,

I'm also interested in a Etch+Lenny fai installer on the same server,
and I didn't understand how can it works : I've a FAI system installed
for Etch (3.2 version), and would like to be able to install either a
Etch, either a Lenny system on a new computer. I don't understand how
do you build your base.tar.gz (or .tgz), as I don't have anyone in my
current FAI installation : is it the output of a debootstrap call ? how
is it used in NFS installer as I currently have ? or perhaps I have to
upgrade to a newer FAI version ?

  Thanks for your lights,
	Fred.
