Howto use actual FAI 3.3.5 instead of 3.2.17 while creating nfs-root-filesystem?

Hello List-members!

Running "fai-setup -v" for creating the nfs-root-filesystem, I can only
set one server in

/etc/fai-i386/make-fai-nfsroot.conf.

I use my local lenny mirror, created with mkdebmirror:

FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP="lenny http://[FQDN-FAISERVER]/debmirror/debian"

But with this setting, the default FAI-packages from the stable release
(lenny), are used for making the nfs-root-filesystems. Snippet from
"/var/log/fai/make-fai-nfsroot.log":

	Setting up fai-client (3.2.17~lenny1) ...
	Setting up fai-nfsroot (3.2.17~lenny1) ...

Because there are no packages[.*] files in the download directory of the
FAI project, I used apt-mirror to download the files to

/usr/local/data/fai/files/scratch/debmirror/mirror/www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/download/lenny

The FAI-mirror of ist now avilable at:

http://[FQDN-FAISERVER]/debmirror/mirror/www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/download/lenny/

My Request:

How can I change the configuration of make-fai-nfsroot.conf, so that
 the actual FAI 3.3.5 packages

	fai-client_3.3.5_all.deb

	fai-nfsroot_3.3.5_all.deb

are used for the creation of the nfs-root-filesystem?

I think the solution could be easy, but I don't see it yet. ;-|

Thank you for your assistance in advance!

Best Regards

Jens
