I wanted to know if there is a standard way of doing what I am trying to
do. By cluster I meant some 20 computers that want to be a cluster someday
(with the help o FAI :) ).

I will try to write a script that changes the FAI_ACTION when the
installation is done, so the computers will always boot from LAN but
sometimes they will fallout to the local boot. If someone has already done
this, please share it with me. :)

Thanks for the information.
