Creating a basefile using a live ISO is really easy. First you install
the required packages:

# apt-get -y install pbuilder debootstrap

Then you create the basefile:

# pbuilder create | tee /root/pbuilder.log

The '| tee...' part is not really necessary of course, but I like having
a log around in case anything goes wrong.

The base image gets saved to /var/cache/pbuilder/base.tgz. It just needs
to be renamed to CLASS_NAME.tar.gz where CLASS_NAME is the name of the
class you are assigning your clients to. Mind the .tar.gz file
extension. Move the file to the FAI 'basefiles' directory and there you go.

Cheers,


Robert
