Is DHCP server absolutely required - new FAI user

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
