Is DHCP server absolutely required - new FAI user

[Karthik Kambatla]

Hi there

We are new to using FAI. We plan to use FAI to setup an Ubuntu cluster on 30
machines for our research group.

The guide says we need a DHCP server. The machines are assigned static IPs,
and we can't host a DHCP server in addition to the existing one in the
department. Is there a way to get network access for the static IPs using
say the CD/USB booting.

Thanks much in advance
Karthik
