> Roughly, it should be something like this:

> # debootstrap hardy /some/where/hardy http://some-ubuntu-mirror/
> # tar zc -C /some/where/hardy -f /my/fai/config/basefiles/HARDY.tar.gz .

> And then add your host in /my/fai/config/class/50-host-class, with the
> HARDY variable, configure disk, packages, etc..., and start the
> installation.

...and fail, because /etc/apt/sources.list got overwritten during prepareapt.
