Hi,
following the "Quickstart - For the impatient user"
[http://fai-project.org/fai-guide/_anchor_id_impatient_xreflabel_impatient_quickstart_for_the_impatient_user.html]
I ran into the following error message during the installation process
on the client:
ERROR: No URL defined for the config space
ERROR: Set $FAI_CONFIG_SRC or use option -s
There are some very old (2012) references to this on the maillist and in
fact the manpage of fai-chboot says
-u URL Set FAI_CONFIG_SRC to URL. Setting this variable is mandatory
for operation of FAI.
On the other hand, the quickstart guide tells me to simply run
"fai-chboot -IFv <host>" and also $FAI_CONFIG_SRC is already set in
/etc/fai/fai.conf. So why declare it yet an other time?
Additionally from the error message it is not clear - at least to me -,
/where/ the "-s" option should be used.
Maybe the quickstart guide needs an update/fix?
Cheers
Frank
