    -> my question is: how is this disk configuration file chosen ? Do you have to give it the name of a class the host belongs to, e.g. FAIBASE ? 

Yep. Maybe reread the chapter about FAI's class system.

Check the list of classes for your demohost. BTW, you should not use
setup_harddisk any more. Use setup-storage.

    > "...where file systems should be created (and their types like ext2, ext3, reiserfs), and how they are mounted..." 
    -> is it possible to use ext4 filesytems, as they are used by default in Ubuntu nowadays ? 
ext4 is supported since FAI 3.3.4.

    > 4. I want to make an Ubuntu 8.04 mirror on that same fai server. Where and how do I configure what, to make my "demohost" install packages from that repo ? 
In source.list.
