Actually less of confusion, more of dumb [dumb can be fixed while stupid 
is forever].  I approach this from the expectation that if I faithfully 
follow my predecessors I will have a good outcome.  I have not.  But I 
question how faithful I have been.  And I can not exactly duplicate the 
Debioan environment my predesessors trod.  So I'm stuck for the moment 
with Ubuntu that does abort for reasons I don't fully understand.

This brings me to viewing the Ubuntu version as lacking quality and the 
FAI project team of not supporting Ubuntu variation of the project.  I 
do have opinion, I do not criticize.  Once I grasp the Ubuntu failure, 
and maybe have a solution, I will approach Ubuntu as a buggy offering 
not found in Debian.

I hope you share my perspective of the difference between support and 
quality.  I doubt FAI is flawed and in need of support, I do suspect 
some incompatibility caused by differences in packaging between Debian 
and Ubuntu.

Cheers.
