It would be nice to submit the patches for rinse to me or to the
Debian bug tracking system.

    > Is it possible to have dbus working when using $CHROOTCMD in FAI?
Not sure. One thing we do not do in FAI is starting any daemons inside
the chroot environment. Until now we had no problems using this approach.

    > Is it a problem if dbus is not running in the chroot environment?
Do you have any problems because dbus is not running?

/usr/sbin/fai is using /bin/bash in the first line, so I'm wondering
why is uses dash instead of bash.

FAI must use bash.



P.S.: I'm always very interested in user experiences with FAI. Can you
please fill out the FAI questionnaire
http://fai-project.org/questionnaire
and send it back to me when you finished a project with FAI.
