FAI + Solaris x86

[Thomas Neumann]

Has someone tried to fai Solaris x86?


"9.7. FAI for Solaris

FAI has also been ported for use with SUN Solaris OS installations in
cooperation with Solaris jumpstart. This was done using FAI 2.8.4 and
Solaris 9. Get the FAI sources from FAI 2.8.4 and change to the sunos
directory. There you can call make which creates the tarball
/tmp/fai-solaris.tar.gz. You have to read the file README.sunos and have
some knowledge about Solaris jumpstart. The Solaris support was removed in
FAI 2.9."

Okay, FAI+Jumpstart may be a bit much. I would try it the way I do
SuSE-Installs:
 - boot a fai-client (debian lenny)
 - extract a tarball
 - fiddle with package repositories (manually or by using $tool)
 - use $packagemanager to install software
