+fai (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ - This stable release is targeted towards Debian/squeeze but continues
+ to provide support for older Debian releases as well.
+ If you want to deploy the Debian lenny release please see
+ /usr/share/doc/fai-doc/lenny-instructions.txt for instructions.
+
+ - Please note that due to Debian's switch from /bin/bash to /bin/dash
+ as default /bin/sh shell your scripts/hooks/... should use
+ /bin/bash in the shebang line if you're using the environment of FAI.
+ Otherwise you might notice problems like "ifclass" not being defined.
+
+ - FAI project homepage moved to its own domain http://fai-project.org/
+ Along with the new web home also the wiki moved.
+ If your sources.list configuration includes something like:
+
+ deb http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/download lenny koeln
+
+ please change it to the new URL accordingly, like:
+
+ deb http://fai-project.org/download lenny koeln

+ -- Thomas Lange <lange at debian.org> Thu, 3 Apr 2003 16:57:12 +0200
+
+fai (2.4) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ - Era Erikson did some great work on proofreading all manuals and
+ script comments. Great work Era!
+ - lots of updates in the fai guide
+ - use the script fai-class for defining classes; scripts in class/
+ must not have prefix S; the following command renames your
+ existing scripts so they will work with the new command:
+ rename 's/S(\d\d.+)(\.sh|\.pl)/$1/' S*
+ the order of scripts executed has slightly changed; all classes
+ from the file $HOSTNAME are defined after the scripts in class/
+ are executed; the suffix .sh or .pl is not needed any more,
+ fai-class has a manual page
+ - kernel 2.4.20 is the default kernel during installation
+ - USB keyboard support during installation
+ - make-fai-bootfloppy creates a more generic boot floppy which
+ uses grub or lilo as boot loader, it supports more than one boot
+ protocol, more disk space is available on the floppy
+ - the exit status of every hook and script is written to
+ status.log
+ - the hook faiend.LAST parses all log files for warnings and
+ errors and writes them to error.log
+ - variable.sh lists all variables defined after task defvar has finished
+ - FAI_LOCATION is now defined in fai.conf, FAI_ACTION is defined
+ in LAST.var, do not use T170 and T171 via a BOOTP or DHCP server
+ (but it is still possible)
+ - hooks can make their tasks to be skipped (as in fai 2.2)
+ - templates scripts and config files has been rewritten and added
+ (eg. WWWKIOSK, a notebook with Windows and Linux)
+ - a new default location for the Debian mirror (in mkdebmirror and
+ fai.conf)
+ - much of reorganizing the code, but this does not change the user
+ visible behavior
+ - some functions that were defined as shell subroutines are now
+ separate scripts in /usr/lib/fai (fai-class, create_ramdisk,
+ prepare_apt, fai-divert, fai-savelog, task_sysinfo, ...), they
+ are not standalone script, most of them only work in the fai
+ environment, this should solve the problems with a too big
+ environment (when using xargs)
+ - PATH always starts with /usr/local/{sbin,bin}
+ - new FAI_FLAG syslogd starts log daemons (syslogd and klogd) only
+ on demand
+ - save log files to host $LOGSERVER if defined, otherwise use
+ $SERVER
+ - make-fai-nfsroot always does setup for dhcp and bootp, and uses
+ following sources to create the file sources.list for the
+ nfsroot: the variable $FAI_SOURCES_LIST or the files
+ /etc/fai/sources.list or /etc/apt/sources.list
+ - you can add a list of classes after the PACKAGE command in files
+ in package_config, so the following packages will only be
+ installed for this class (Please only use this in the file
+ package_config/DEFAULT)
+ - fcopy has new option -i and -B
+ - the variable addpackages can contain a list of packages without
+ their version number, therefore /fai/files/packages should be a
+ simple repository
+ - a lot of bug fixes
+
+ -- Thomas Lange <lange at debian.org> Thu, 13 Feb 2003 11:45:29 +0100
+
+fai (2.3.4) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ - the default name for fai kernel-image package has changed to
+ kernel-image-2.2.20_fai1_i386.deb, since the package fai-kernel
+ >=1.4 contains install kernels which support both the BOOTP and

+
+fai (2.3) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ - all default configurations are for Debian 3.0 aka woody
+ - /etc/fai.conf moved to /etc/fai/fai.conf
+ - moved some variables from fai.conf to class/*.var
+ - add FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP_OPTS to fai.conf
+ - temporary files are stored to $LOGDIR (default to /tmp/fai/),
+ can be set in fai.conf using mktemp if desired
+ - log files for every new run are stored in a separate directory,
+ last-$FAI_ACTION is pointing to the last log directory
+ - if a task is skipped, also all its hooks are skipped
+ - uname -s in uppercase is also a default class
+ - all class/S[0-9]*.source scripts are sourced
+ - hooks that end in .source are sourced (formerly .sh), so they
+ can define variables
+ - new adddivert routine; make a diversion for a file and add it to
+ the list of all diversions; you need not care about removing the
+ diversion; the finish task will do this for you
+ - class/*.mod files can now define variables
+ - new examples class/S30menu.source (was hook/install.MENU)
+ - /fai can be a different location using $FAI in fai.conf
+ - /fai can be retrieved from a CVS repository: (see variables
+ FAI_LOCATION, FAI_CVSROOT, FAI_CVSMODULE) and create a
+ /etc/fai/.cvspass
+ - /etc/apt/preferences will be copied to nfsroot
+ - additional manual pages for fai-setup, make-fai-nfsroot,
+ make-fai-bootfloppy, install_packages
+ - setup_harddisks: called with option -d (DOS alignment)
+ support for ext3 and disk controllers using /dev/ida/, /dev/rd/
+ and /dev/cciss (Compaq SMART2 raid array and Mylex DAC960 PCI
+ RAID controller)
+ - make-fai-bootfloppy can write to a file, creates environment for
+ DHCP using pxelinux, does not copy System.map to floppy (now
+ more space left for the kernel image), new option -s
+ - bootpc and dhcp request will use only active network devices
+ ($netdevices_up determined by netdevice_info()) by default,
+ which can be overwritten with $netdevices
+ - add a hint how to set up the kernel automounter for scratch
+ partitions
+ - fcopy skips CVS directories, executes postinst script if file
+ was copied, new options -L and -P
+ - added prtnetgr script which prints a flat list of all hosts
+ belonging to a netgroup
+ - execute all /fai/scripts/$class/S[0-9]* scripts if this
+ directory exists, so it's possible to execute multiple scripts
+ for one class; see examples in scripts/NETWORK/ and scripts/DEFAULT/
+ - use shm (was tmpfs) for ramdisk if available
+ - mkdebmirror uses passive ftp mode
+ - task sysinfo calls kudzu
+ - added THANKS file

+fai (2.2.3) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ - woody support improved, but the default configuration is still
+ for potato
+ - added disk configuration for Beowulf nodes
+ - Wake on LAN section added to FAI guide
+ - reiserfs support in setup_harddisks (thanks to Diane Trout)
+ - make-fai-nfsroot -v output can be redirected to a file
+ - sysinfo also uses detect and discover to probe for hardware
+ - utilities moved to /usr/share/fai/utils
+ - install_packages checks all package names. If a package name is
+ misspelled, it will be removed from the installation list
+ - added class NOGETTY
+ - package_config: new action "hold", PRELOAD can use a file: url
+
+ -- Thomas Lange <lange at debian.org> Thu, 8 Nov 2001 17:01:02 +0100
+
+fai (2.2.2) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ - bug fix: getting dhcp information
+ - added jmon to BEOWULF
+
+ -- Thomas Lange <lange at debian.org> Wed, 10 Oct 2001 10:52:35 +0200
+
+fai (2.2.1) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ - FAI_FLAGS can be space or comma separated. They must be space
+ separated in bootptab. Use a comma to separate them as
+ additional kernel parameters.
+ - bootp requests on multiple ethernet devices show device name
+ (Thanks to Geert Stappers)
+ - script all_hosts doesn't use hardcoded list of hosts any more;
+ now it uses the netgroup allhosts
+
+ -- Thomas Lange <lange at debian.org> Fri, 5 Oct 2001 17:19:14 +0200
+
+fai (2.2) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ - the fai guide has a new chapter about building a Beowulf cluster
+ - new utilities for Beowulf cluster: all_hosts and rshall
+ - new utility softupdate for updating packages on a running system
+ - improved example for diskless hook
+ - major reorganization of the rcS_fai code; most parts are moved
+ to the subroutines file
+ - source /fai/hooks/subroutines if file exists; here you can define
+ your own subroutines or redefine FAIs subroutines
+ - most tasks are now executed via task() and the name of the task
+ as option. This subroutine looks for a hook with the given name
+ and executes it. Hooks can skip the default task of FAI (called
+ task_<name>) by using skiptask(). So, hooks can replace the
+ default behavior, and not only add functions to the
+ installation process
+ - hooks can define classes by writing class names to
+ /tmp/additional-classes and variable by writing line to
+ /tmp/additional.var
+ - new hooks/tasks added
+ - classes and variables are now defined in the very beginning
+ before task_action is called and $FAI_ACTION is evaluated
+ - FAI_ACTION can be any user defined value. FAI is looking for a
+ command in /fai/hooks/$FAI_ACTION and executes it.
+ - log file prepare-apt.log renamed to updatebase.log
+ - debian-non-US in local mirror script (mkdebmirror) has new location
+ - new type "PACKAGE taskinst" in package_config can install new
+ task packages (for Debian 3.0 and later releases)
+ - get_bootp_inf() and get_dhcp_info() support multiple ethernet
+ devices via $netdevices
+ - $netdevices can be set or automaticly determined to the list of
+ ethernet devices
+ - make-fai-bootfloppy: handle symlinks of lilo 21.5 and newer
+ - tlink can show symlink of a host or all file in /boot/fai
+ - new classes NOSECURETTY, BEOWULF, NOTCPD
+
+ -- Thomas Lange <lange at debian.org> Fri, 14 Sep 2001 14:35:49 +0200
+
+fai (2.1) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ - NEWS file added (you found it already ;-), which contains the
+ user visible changes; changelog file is for developers
+ - woody support
+ - define $FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP for using debootstrap
+ - you can add your own functions using hooks (read the manual)
+ - /fai/fai_config not used anymore, replaced by a hook
+ - setup_harddisk does not complain when root partition is not in
+ the first 8GB, do not complain if not a primary partition
+ - no more problems when using other locales
+ - support for diskless clients
+ - grub support, new class LILO and GRUB
+ - new flag createvt; add this to FAI_FLAGS to get two additional
+ terminals and ctrl-c will interrupt the installation
+ process. Otherwise ctrl-c will reboot and no terminals are
+ available. In the past, this function was enabled by default.
+ Add createvt to FAI_FLAGS to get the old behavior.
+ - before any classes are defined using the scripts in /fai/class,
+ the classes DEFAULT, $HOSTNAME and LAST are defined
+ - new utility chkdebnames can check package names for a certain
+ distribution

+<h1>FAI-CD: Installation from CD, DVD or USB stick</h1>
+
+<b>FAI-CD is the easy way to start with FAI.</b>
+<P>
+Perform a FAI installation from CD-ROM without setting up an install server.
+FAI-CD puts all data needed for a fully automatic installation on a
+CD. So no network is needed and you can install the whole system from
+CD. The script creates an ISO image that includes the nfsroot, the
+configuration space and a partitial Debian mirror.
+<p>
+Look at the fai-cd slideshow! <a href="/slideshow/">16
+pictures</a> showing a complete installation from CD (<a
+ href="/slideshow/fai-cd-slideshow.tar.gz">all pictures in a tarball</a>)

+<a href=fai-usb-3.3.tar.lzma>USB stick tar file</a> for i386 (using FAI 3.3, kernel 2.6.26, size 471MB). How to create the bootable USB stick:
+<ul>
+<li> create a ext2 file system on your USB stick
+<li> extract the compressed tar into this file system (tar --lzma -xf)
+<li> download the small script <a href=../download/misc/mk-grub>mk-grub</a>

+<ul>
+<!-- <li> Choose FAISERVER for installing the host as a FAI install server -->
+
+<li> The system will be installed to the first disk (either IDE, SATA or
+SCSI). All data on the disk will be deleted.
+<li>
+
+<li> All log files from the installation can be found in <tt>/var/log/fai/localhost/last/</tt>
+
+<li> After the installation the account demo with the
+password fai is available.
+<li> The root password is also fai.

+<h1>What is FAI? Main Features</h1>
+<ul>
+<li> A tool for automated unattended installation. Lazy system administrators like it.
+<li> Remote network installation of different Linux flavors
+<li> Easy-to-use centralized management system for your Linux deployment.
+<li> It's fast. It only takes a few minutes for a complete installation.
+<li> Scalable. FAI users manage their computer infrastructures starting
+ from a few computers up to several thousands of machines.
+<li> Different hardware and different configuration requirements are easy to
+establish using FAI. You do not need to repeat information that is shared
+among several machines.
+<li> Using the FAI class concept, you can group a bunch of similar machines.
+<li> Installation targets: desktops, servers, notebooks, Beowulf cluster, rendering or web server farm, Linux laboratory or classroom.
+<li> Linux rollout, mass installation and automated server provisioning are additional topics of FAI.
+<li> FAI is lightweight. No special daemons are running, no database setup
+is needed. It's architecture independent, since it consists
+only of shell, Perl and Cfengine scripts.
+<li> Besides initial installations, it is used for daily maintenance,
+and can set up chroot environments.
+<li> Compared to tools like kickstart or cobbler for Red Hat, autoyast for SUSE or
+Jumpstart for SUN Solaris, FAI is much more flexible. You can tune every
+small part of your configuration to your local needs using hooks.
+<li> More technical information in the <a href=/poster>flyer and poster</a>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+
+<h1>FAI Installation Steps</h1>
+<UL>
+<li> Network boot via PXE
+<li> Receive configuration data via HTTP, NFS, svn or git
+<li> Run scripts to determine FAI classes and variables
+<li> Partition local hard disks and create RAID, LVM configuration and the file systems
+<li> Install and configure software packages
+<li> Customize OS and software to your local needs
+<li> Reboot freshly installed machine
+</ul>
+
+<h1>FAI History</h1>
+FAI is rock-solid. It's now ten years old. FAI was started in 1999 at
+the University of Cologne (<a href=http://www.uni-koeln.de>Universität zu Köln</a>), when
+<a href="http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/~lange">Thomas</a> had to
+organize an installation of a Linux cluster with one server and 16
+clients. Today, FAI is regularly used in varying environments,
+ranging from a dozen machines up to several thousands machines.

+
+FAI is a non-interactive system to install, customize and manage
+Linux systems and software configurations on computers as well as
+virtual machines and chroot environments, from small networks to
+large-scale infrastructures and clusters.
+<p>
+It's a tool for unattended mass deployment of Linux. You can take one
+or more virgin PC's, turn on the power, and after a few minutes,
+the systems are installed, and completely configured to your exact
+needs, without any interaction necessary.
+</p>
+<h3>Motto: Plan your installation, and FAI installs your plan.</h3>

+<h1>Das FAI Projekt feiert seinen 10. Geburtstag</h1>
+
+Vor genau zehn Jahren, am 21. Dezember 1999, wurde die Version 1.0 von FAI
+(Fully Automatic Installation) auf der Mailingliste debian-admintool
+von Thomas Lange angekündigt[1].
+<p />
+
+<p />
+Das Projekt wurde Anfang 1999 ins Leben gerufen, nachdem ein Lehrstuhl
+für Informatik an der Uni Köln ein kleines Beowulf Cluster gekauft
+hatte und der Autor zu faul war, die Rechner per Hand zu
+installieren. Die Hardware bestand aus 16 Rechnern mit je zwei
+Pentium II 400MHz und je 256 MB RAM[2].
+<p/>
+Die erste offizielle Präsentation der FAI Software fand schon am
+8. September 1999 auf dem 6. Linux Kongress in Augsburg statt. Dort
+gab es ein Tutorium mit Vortrag und einen Praxisteil, bei dem die
+Teilnehmer die Software direkt ausprobieren konnten.
+<p/>
+Version 1.0 wurde als einfaches Tarball verteilt und nutzte Debian 2.1
+(slink) und die Kernelversion 2.0.36. Gebootet wurde meist noch von
+einer Floppy disk. Schon in der ersten Version war Punkt 1 der
+ToDo-Liste, dass auch andere Linux Distributionen (RPM basierte)
+unterstützt werden sollten. Zwar gab es im Januar 2000 den ersten
+Versuch mit FAI4RPM[3], das einige Teile von FAI in Python
+implementierte, jedoch dauerte es noch viele Jahre bis FAI endlich
+ohne große Probleme RPM basierte Distributionen unterstützte.
+<p/>
+Anfang 2000 wurde das zweite offizielle Release 1.0.1 veröffentlicht.
+<p/>
+Nachdem zuvor auf anderen Listen über FAI diskutiert worden war, gab
+es am 19. April 2000 das erste Posting[4] auf der neuen Mailingliste
+linux-fai. Diese Liste ist das wichtigste Kommunikationsmittel, wenn
+es um Diskussionen und Ankündigungen rund um FAI geht.
+<p/>
+Das erste Debian Paket beinhaltete Version 1.1beta1 und erschien im
+Juni 2000 nachdem der Autor offizieller Debian Developer (DD) geworden
+war.
+<p/>
+Eine Woche später wurde dann ein Fork von FAI angekündigt. Ein kleiner
+Schock, da die zwei Studenten, die an FAI mitgearbeitet hatten, nun
+ein eigenes Projekt starteten. Aber dieses Projekt war nur eines von
+zigtausend kurzzeitigen Sternschnuppen auf Sourceforge und ist seit
+langem verglüht.
+<p/>
+Zur Zeit gibt es noch das Projekt lucie[5], das Teile von FAI 3.2.17
+nutzt, und einige FAI Teile neu in Ruby implementiert, indem es
+einfach Shell Kommandos aus einem Ruby Skript heraus aufruft.
+<p/>
+Nach einem Vortrag auf der DebConf 1 in Bordeaux 2001, folgten viele
+weitere Vorträge von Thomas Lange[6], anderen Entwicklern[7]
+und Nutzern über FAI. Außerdem war FAI auf einigen Konferenzen und
+Messen mit einem Stand vertreten, auf dem die Besucher den Ablauf
+einer Installation direkt beobachten und sich bei den Entwicklern über
+FAI informieren konnten.
+<p/>
+2005 startete das Wiki[8] für FAI. Es beinhaltet viele zusätzliche
+Informationen von Benutzern zu FAI.
+<p/>
+In den letzten Jahren wurde FAI immer weiter verbessert und erweitert.
+Das Kommando zum Erzeugen der bootbaren FAI CD (mit nfsroot und
+Paketdepot) wurde erstmals mit Version 2.7 im Jahre 2005 ausgeliefert
+und kann seit 2007 auch bootbare USB Sticks erzeugen. Mit Version 3.0
+wurde im September 2006 die Funktionalität hinzugefügt chroot
+Umgebungen zu erzeugen. Seit 2008 nutzt das Projekt grml[9] (ein
+Debian-basiertes Live-System für Systemadministratoren) diese Funktion
+zum Bauen der verschiedenen CD/DVD Varianten. Somit ist es nun möglich
+täglich aktuelle ISO Dateien automatisch zu erzeugen.
+<p/>
+Seit Version 3.2 arbeitet FAI mit dem Standard Debian Kernel mit
+initrd. Dies erleichtert die Anpassung an neue Hardware, da kein
+speziell gebauter Kernel mehr benötigt wird.
+<p/>
+Nachdem schon einige Jahre lang die Idee bestand das Festplatten
+Partitionierungstool neu zu schreiben um Software-RAID und LVM
+Unterstützung zu ermöglichen, wurde das neue Tool setup-storage[10]
+endlich im Juni 2008 in FAI eingebaut. Dies ermöglicht nun auch
+Festplatten mit mehr als 2 TB zu partitionieren.
+<p/>
+In den 10 Jahren wurde FAI auf fast allen Hardwarearchitekturen
+eingesetzt. Neben den weit verbreiteten Architekturen wurden auch alte
+Alpha Rechner, ein Itanium Cluster, PowerPC und SPARC Rechner unter
+Solaris mit FAI installiert und gewartet. Selbst Mainframes sind
+mit zwei zSeries z10 Rechnern vertreten auf denen FAI ca. 260 Debian
+Instanzen installiert hat.
+<p/>
+FAI wird für sehr unterschiedliche Hardware genutzt aber auch in sehr
+unterschiedlichen Projekten. Dies ist eine der Stärken
+von FAI im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen Installations- und
+Konfigurationstools, die meist auf ein bestimmtes Nutzungsszenario und
+eine bestimmte Linux Distribution festgelegt sind. FAI hingegen
+arbeitet distributionsübergreifend. Es kann Debian, Ubuntu, SuSE,
+CentOS, Red Hat und Mandriva installieren und wurde auch schon
+für Solaris auf SPARC genutzt.
+<p/>
+Um detaillierte Rückmeldungen von FAI Anwendern zu erhalten, wurde der
+FAI Fragebogen entworfen. Die erste Antwort im Juni 2001 berichtete
+noch davon, das wegen Kinderkrankheiten kein Rechner installiert
+wurde. Mittlerweile gibt es aber über 220 Antworten, in denen die
+Nutzer von kleinen und großen Installationen mit bis zu 3000 Rechnern
+berichten. Dies gibt einen sehr guter Überblick in welchen verschiedenen
+Bereichen FAI eingesetzt wird[11].
+<p/>
+Einige Beispiele von FAI Anwendern sind: Opera Software (300 Cluster
+Knoten), Stadtverwaltung München (ca. 2000 Arbeitsplätze, geplant
+14.000), BUF Compagnie (ca. 1000 Arbeitsplätze, Rendering und Storage
+Knoten), Albert Einstein Institut (1725 HPC Knoten), Mathworks (1000
+Arbeitsplätze), Zivit (260 Rechner auf IBM zSeries Z10), Spotify
+(Musik Anbieter, 450 Server für verschiedene Dienste), ein anonymes
+Webportal (3000 Server), mobile.de (600 verschiedene Web-, Mail-,
+Datenbank- und Anwendungsserver). Ebenso verwenden viele Universitäten
+und Forschungseinrichtungen FAI zur Administration ihrer Rechner.
+<p/>
+FAI wurde auf dem 100 Roboter Projekt Centibots eingesetzt. Viele
+Dutzend Cluster für verschiedene Anwendungen wurden mit FAI
+aufgesetzt. Einige dieser Cluster schafften es sogar in die Top500.org
+Liste, die Liste der schnellsten Computer der Welt. Eine Firma
+installierte weit in Deutschland verteilt Miniserver mit CF
+Speicher. Auch einige Schulungsräume werden mit FAI verwaltet, sodass
+sie vor Beginn einer Schulung automatisch neu installiert werden.
+Web- und Hosting-Provider profitieren häufig von FAI, da sie eine
+große Anzahl von ähnlichen Servern installieren müssen.
+<p/>
+FAI in Zahlen:
+Zur Zeit besteht FAI aus 12.000 Zeilen Code (meist Perl und Shell) und
+1300 Zeilen Konfigurationsbeispielen. Die Dokumentation ist 5500
+Zeilen lang. In 10 Jahren wurden mehr als 5600 Änderungen im
+Sourcecode vorgenommen, das bedeutet mehr als 1.5 Commits pro Tag.
+Im Bug Tracking System gab es insgesamt über 500 Fehlerberichte, die
+gelöst wurden. Somit wurde ungefähr ein Fehler pro Woche behoben.
+Derzeit gibt es noch ca. 30 nicht behobene Fehler. Die meisten sind
+jedoch Wünsche, neue Funktionen einzubauen.
+<p/>
+Neben dem technischen Aspekt ist in den letzten Jahren der Austausch
+der Entwickler und Nutzer immer wichtiger geworden. So gab es von 2005
+bis 2008 jährlich ein FAI Entwicklertreffen, bei denen meist im
+Linuxhotel[12] ein Wochenende lang mit bis zu einem Dutzend Leuten an
+FAI gearbeitet wurde. Diese Treffen waren sehr produktiv und wir
+hoffen, dass auch 2010 wieder ein Treffen stattfindet. Daneben gibt es
+regelmäßig Arbeitstreffen auf der DebConf (Debian Entwickler
+Konferenz).
+<p/>
+Anfang Dezember 2009 wurde dann endlich das Layout der FAI Webseiten[13]
+auf ein zeitgemäßes Design umgestellt. Nun fehlt immer noch ein Logo
+für das Projekt, aber das sollte in den nächsten 10 Jahren auch fertig
+werden ;-)
+<p/>
+FAI ist ein klassisches OpenSource Projekt, das davon lebt, dass die
+Benutzer durch Rückmeldungen, Fehlerberichte und Patches helfen, die
+Software zu verbessern.
+<p/>
+Herzlichen Dank an alle, die mitgeholfen haben die Software FAI zu
+entwickeln[14] und zu verbessern! Nur mit eurer Unterstützung ist FAI
+so gut geworden.
+<p/>
+Es gibt immer noch viele Ideen für Erweiterung und Neuerungen. So
+wird auch in den nächsten 10 Jahren genügend zu tun sein im FAI
+Projekt.
+<p/>

+We use FAI to standardise our cluster node installations for a small Departmental
+cluster (<a href="pictures/statistics_warwick.jpg">picture</a>) here at Warwick. We find this preferable to disk imaging
+as we occasionally add new nodes, and so end up with a heterogeneous cluster.
+
+In general, I would say that I find FAI pretty powerful. My only criticism would
+be that it is sometimes difficult to migrate to new versions: for example, I had
+to re-write my fai/config directory just recently during a system upgrade from
+Ubuntu 8.04 to 10.04. Other than that, it has been fairly painless, apart from a
+lot of work choosing which packaged to install on my execution nodes!
+
+Many thanks for your hard work on what looks to be a very promising,
+useful, and long lived project.

+ Trying to minimise the scripts in fai, because we're trying to bootstrap only with fai,
+ so configuration and customisation comes from puppet. This is a "general"
+ problem, that every installation method (debian-installer, fai, kickstart, ...)
+ has: if relying on the installation system, one spreads around the configuration.
+
+ Thus we think that having a minimal system that supports only (some) configuration
+ system, is the best way to go.
+
+ Using fai is pretty straight forwarded, having the "log service" is
+ very useful, though at the beginning not completly clear where to put
+ the ssh keys and what's needed to get them into the chroot.

+
+Our installation is pretty small because we rely on FAI to get servers

+of the system. FAI is a pretty critical component of our
+infrastructure because it makes reprovisioning a machine cheaper than
+reconfiguring, which saves us a lot of time and headache

+We currently using FAI to install all Debian hosts, in various
+locations across the globe. We have been using FAI since Debian
+3.1. FAI allows users to re-image their own desktop machines when we
+move from one version of Debian to the next to support development of
+our product (MATLAB/Simulink). PXE files are put in place on our PXE
+servers, allowing users a one-click install (press F12 during boot).
+
+All hosts are PXE booted, and the nfsroot, FAI config, and package
+repository are all served over NFS via NetApp filers. We find this
+method to be very robust and efficient.
+
+I am currently investigating the usage of FAI to build Ubuntu clients,
+with good success so far. We currently manually install Ubuntu
+clients, though the number of these hosts is currently <20 test
+machines. (http://www.sourcecode.de/content/ubuntu-910-and-fai)
+

+Thank you for making multiple client installations so easy with the use of FAI! Keep up the great work!

+<br /><b>Additional comments:</b>
+Hi - thanks for building FAI. It's by far the best system for
+provisioning and maintaining software on multiple systems that I've
+used.
+
+For reference while reading the answers, we're a managed service
+provider. We install 100+ nodes into every customer installation,
+along with an FAI server. The nodes are custom-built embedded linux
+boxes which are bootstrapped with debian when they'r manufactured in
+our factory. When a node is bootstrapped we have one hook script that
+goes out to look for installation instructions. Our provisioning
+process for a new customer looks like this:
+
+INSTALLATION
+
+1) Use an in-house instance of FAI to provision a server, which among
+ other things becomes an FAI server
+
+2) Install the server at the customer site
+
+3) Install our nodes at the customer site, each of which have been
+ bootstrapped without FAI in our factory with base debian plus a hook
+ script to ask how to install software
+
+4) The node gets instructions to run fai -N softupdate
+
+5) Presto - 100+ working nodes in about 15 minutes each.
+
+
+UPGRADE - How we upgrade our software at the customer site
+
+1) Update a configuration file centrally to update the version of
+ software which should be installed at the customer - this actually
+ manifests as a versioned etch distribution with our software added to
+ the distro
+
+2) Shell in to the customer's server and run fai -N softupdate
+
+3) Every node runs softupdate once every 2 hours and waits a random
+ amount of time so as to not overload the network or the FAI server
+
+4) Presto - Everything just works

+this weekend (along with a heap of tools & hospital equipment) &
+dispatched to a school in Ndola Zambia. It is a HP Proliant ML350 G3
+server running 2 backend networks. Net#1 pxe-boots diskless ltsp
+clients - edubuntu ltsp straight from the jar. Net#2 pxe-boots fai.
+These desktops are 1.6GHz Acer Veriton 5600. They are capable of full
+multi-media & graphics that the ltsp network & server does poorly. I
+want the Net#2 desktops to end up configured with edubuntu-standard,
+nfs /home (roaming desktop) & nis domain login, so they end up with a
+similar environment to the ltsp network.
+
+If I get time & support... I plan to travel with a team to Ndola to
+assist with the installation June 2009. Also, time permitting we will
+be setting up a Internet kiosk for a mission in Ndola. It will be a
+dual backend similar to the school.
+
+Net#1 will be pxe-boot ltsp -kiosk. This is a local X running firefox
+in the root window (which is great until a pop-up comes along...)
+Net#2 will be a desktop pxe-boot fai build of a kiosk client that will
+be a locked-down ubuntu desktop.

+I'm not really using FAI to install the systems. I'm only using it to

+way the disks are setup and formatted. It makes things a lot easier. My
+focus hasn't been on installing a network full of machines. Rather, the
+focus has been placed on installing (and sometimes updating) preconfigured
+servers that are then placed in their environments. A fully automatic system
+helps insure that the installation is complete and correct and helps keeps simple
+mistakes from occuring, and helps to keep the systems predictable. This is
+really important the more complex and involved that the configuration gets. I
+often spend more time getting a correct configuration than I would by just installing
+and configuring a server, but in the end, once the configuration is correct and has
+been tested, I have an easier time making the next machine, or reinstalling another
+machine that has died due to hardware problems.

+<br /><b>Additional comments:</b>
+After using solaris jumpstart for many years, fai was a very natural
+choice when we made the transition to linux in 2004. It was in fact one
+of the main reasons for choosing debian. The other reasons were
+debians stability and total lack of commercial interests.
+
+We use fai to install lab computers, mainly used by computer engineering
+students. All configuration after the initial install is done using
+softupdate to maintain a consistent installation. Softupdate is done
+manually with cssh.
+
+Configuration is preferably done with cfengine scripts to avoid too much
+editing when upgrading to a new debian version.
+
+For non debian software (firefox, thunderbird, matlab, maple, sun jdk,
+specific eclipse versions and more), we create local debian packages and
+add them to our own repository.

+
+Note that we use one system to FAI build sarge and etch for both

+more flexible than most FAI systems.
+
+We also use bundle to do install-time actions instead of Cfengine or

+<b>What is the business of your company/organisation?</b> Production of autonomous control
+<br /><b>Additional comments:</b>
+Small computer systems (mini-ITX) are used for autonomous control, with
+a Linux base and proprietory application software. FAI is used to
+install all software during system assembly.
+
+FAI is a prety good design which is very flexible. As a downside of
+this, it is also very complex. The FAI manual is too short, and it was
+not straightforward to use. In my case, 2 different systems are
+installed (same hardware), which under-utilises FAI's capabilities by a
+long shot. Consequently much time has been wasted setting up FAI, though
+obviously a perhaps not so good decision of my predecessor isn't FAI's
+fault. I'll remove FAI from the project if I can. E.g. autoyast may not
+be as capable, but would have been much faster and sufficient for the
+job. Also, FAI is mono-cultural (it only works with Debian), and I
+object to sinking a lot of effort into something non-portable because it
+reduces my flexibility (of moving away from Debian in this case). You
+could say the same about autoyast, however the effort investment with
+that is much smaller, and it's not the only alternative by far - cloning
+a disk springs to mind, distro-independent, and disk space costs dirt
+compared with engineering time.
+
+Thanks for the software!

+<br /><b>Additional comments:</b>
+Floppy boot is essential since I have one type of netcard (dmfe driver
+under linux) which is ill-supported by rom-o-matic and I have no other option
+than put a full kernel on floppy.
+
+I have set up FAI to install a copy of the install kernel on all
+hosts automatically, and add that to the Grub menu. So as long as
+I do not upgrade the install kernel, I can do a re-install via
+a simple disk-reboot.
+
+I think these (the files in fai/files) came from the demo setup which
+I used to start my development. I rarely (if at all) use the files
+feature. The systems are customized at the "scripts" stage using
+cfengine. The cfengine configuration file is > 1000 lines , 47 kbytes
+and about 100 config files are installed by it.
+
+I have ever only used the (new) debian-installer once - to get the
+first installation server off the ground. I found it a step back
+from the old install-floppies when advanced changes were the goal.
+However, I had planned to switch to FAI already then, and I have
+never had to regret.

+So far it seems like something I could find a use for. Many people
+(myself included) find reinstall's to be a time consuming process. What
+makes this worse is when you need to reinstall when your not prepared
+for it. I believe FAI helps by making you put in the "hard work" at the
+begining of your network by getting all of the replication, installation
+and other routines implemented and tested ahead of time. The result if
+that when you finally do need to reinstall a machine, chances are you
+just need to pop in a boot disk and walk away.

+Previously we installed Ubuntu Hoary using PXE and an old static image

+This caused problems when adding packages on the rsync master.
+Using FAI we update the package list for clients, and let the clients

+
+Because of the number of systems, we incur a significant number of

+often. FAI is indispensible for getting a host back into the testing
+infrastructure quickly and correctly!
+
+By creating a 'refai' script which frobs the boot sector of the drive,
+and setting our default BIOS configuration to boot first from the

+About our setup: we first installed a Debian system and then the fai packages. After that,

+We use FAI primarily for configuration management and change control
+for our server infrastructure. Every configuration element of our
+servers is managed, and (almost) every box can be rebuilt
+automatically. Our webservers work in a IPVS cluster, a new server
+will install itself and download the webroot without any user
+interaction, we only need to tell our loadbalancer that it exists. The
+main machines that are not currently FAI'd are some of our bigger
+database servers, which use LVM - and we have not quite done enough
+work to get FAI and LVM to work nicely.

+FAI is mainly used in our test/development network, where we often
+have to re-install servers for a variety of tasks. I keep all the
+servers FAI'ed up, and modify the DHCP server to give the machine a
+boot file when I want to reinstall it. I've modified fai-monitor to
+look for "installation complete" events and reconfigure the DHCP
+server before the machine reboots.
+
+I'm using FAI mainly as a super-powered reset button. Once I have the
+system up and running and SSH-able, I use my own scripts to customise
+the machine. The idea is to create an environment where I can build
+whatever server the situation requires, whenever I want.
+
+One of the things I would be very interested in is to port the FAI
+installation resources to one of our AIX machines. That way, I can
+install both AIX machines and Debian boxen from the same AIX

+To deploy and auto update Ubuntu and Debian systems through our department. Although FAI has
+saved us time and time again, udev continuously presents problems. I ended up having to give a
+hack of a workaround like this:
+
+#### .../fai/hooks/configure.DEFAULT ####
+if [ -x $target/etc/init.d/udev ]; then
+ chroot $target /etc/init.d/udev stop
+ chroot $target /usr/bin/dpkg --configure --pending
+ chroot $target /etc/init.d/udev start
+fi
+
+Recentently we ran into a problem with hal and udev. I had to create special udev rules because
+we didn't want to add all of our users to the cdrom, plugdev, etc groups in LDAP. So I made udev
+create all the devices with the users group. Hal ended up having to be added to the users group to
+work properly.
+
+Also, we ran into a situation where we have a networking lab with a master node that has a single
+connection to the outside world and all other machines were on a private network connected
+to the master node. So I ended up creating a FAI installation that installs an FAI server that all
+other networking lab machines can install off of. That was fun :) That's also why my .../fai/files
+is so large.

+We're using FAI to maintain the large amount of Debian workstations
+here. We have a large number of different hardware configurations. FAI
+does the job very well to handle these in a easy way. Before we used FAI
+we had to do the boring installation via Debian installer each time we
+installed a workstation. Transfer of common configurations was made via
+cfengine and a small script. (Cfengine in woody and the backport was

+ Our deployed software stack is 725MB. Installation time on an LS20 blade

+ As well as using FAI to install the OS, we also use FAI to "pre-install"

+ BIOS and configures hardware raid controllers.
+
+ We run two fai servers, one for installing x86 machines, and one for installing

+
+ -- the addition of a flow-chart or some other high-altitude flyover of the fai

+
+ -- a wikification of the fai documentation process. fai seems to have

+

+the others have IDE harddisks, 1 host has two harddisks etc.
+Nevertheless we managed to setup a fai configuration with which we can

+Fortunately, all hosts are able to run with the default fai-kernel. Only

+FAI significantly reduced installation time and is expected to reduce
+upgrade times as well. Overall FAI is a great installer. FAI is
+relatively easy to create a one of a kind installation of Linux, with
+user defined configurations. We have added personalized settings such
+as custom GDM logs as well as 3rd party applications, such as Matlab
+and PPR Print Spooler.
+
+However we did find the FAI documentation suffers from a number of
+problems, including a failure to correctly explain how to use
+Ether-boot instead of PXE and generally confusing terminology and
+vague and imprecise wording. For example it took us a long time to
+understand that the phrase "define a class" actually means to enable a
+class. We almost gave up trying to use FAI due to the ambiguity of the
+documentation. A thorough editing of the existing manual would go a
+long way towards correcting this problem.

+ We have over a hundred individual Linux workstations, about fifty
+ older Sun workstations turned into diskless X terminals, connected
+ to three Linux compute servers, a bunch of Win2000 machines and a
+ bunch of specialized servers. All of our user-accessible Linux
+ machines have been switched from RedHat 7.3 to Debian 3.0 this Fall.
+
+ This migration was a rather challenging task, but we are quite happy
+ with Debian and FAI as the unattended installation method. Now
+ reinstalling a machine is as simple as rebooting it, since the
+ boot-up is controlled from our PXE server.
+
+ We use FAI to do a minimal installation, installing only the
+ necessary packages. All of the configuration is then done using
+ Cfengine 2, which is also used later for keeping the configuration
+ up-to-date.
+
+ We like the fact that the concept of classes is shared by both FAI
+ and Cfengine, and we use the same classes names for both systems.
+
+ The biggest problem with FAI that we observed is that installing a
+ number of machines in parallel (e.g. 14 machines) saturates the
+ network and places a heavy load on the NFS server, hosting the
+ mirror.
+
+Many thanks for providing FAI! Without it going to Debian would not
+have been an option for us.

+We are using FAI to install (almost) all of the Linux-Systems (servers

+Linux). We built an environment for developement and testing of our
+products (E.g. www.geofox.de, a passenger timetable information
+system written in Java), which need many systems with different configurations.
+
+The characteristic of our infrastructure is the large number of
+sometimes slightly different systems for which we need about 40
+different configurations for about 70 installed systems in FAI. To
+fit new requirements from these many different configurations we now
+need to re-design and re-organize our fai setup.
+
+At the moment we have eight (8!) FAI servers in our company: one for
+production, one for testing and each member of the infrastructure team
+has at least one "own" FAI server to develope and test FAI classes.
+
+Using FAI we are able to maintain this heterogenous infrastructure by means
+of about one admin. But of course the developement of new systems needs more manpower
+as well as using new features of FAI like fai-bootcd or fai-configdir from cvs.

+How many hosts have you installed using fai? <b>About 5 and counting.</b>
+Which version of fai are you using?<b>2.4.1</b>
+Which version of fai-kernels are you using? 1.5.1
+
+How do you boot your host? From floppy.
+
+I've modified make-fai-bootfloppy quite a bit, added initrd support to
+handle my nforce2 network card (I know you don't like this very much,
+but there was no other way, plus I really wanted those
+motherboards...). I still use DHCP to get network settings
+though. I've also added an optional manual override to the network
+settings during bootup, for computers whose DHCP settings are
+unavailable. For this I had to hack ash/busybox a bit.
+
+Does the default kernel recognize all your hardware? NO
+
+Which drivers are missing: nvnet nForce2 network card.
+Unfortunately this is a proprietary NVidia driver with no way of using
+it besides via initrd. That's why I am also interested in fai-bootcd,
+which would make this problem go away.
+
+Upgrading to Debian and simultaneous hacking of
+FAI is a rather slow process at the moment, given that people are still
+using their computers...
+
+<b>What is the business of your company/organisation?</b> Engineering research.
+<br /><b>Additional comments:</b>
+Thanks for a very nice package! The Digital Signal Processing Lab here
+at the University of Stellenbosch has been a Linux environment for more
+than 7 years now. We've got about 30 machines running various distros,
+from Redhat 5 (!) to Debian sarge. They mostly serve as workstations and
+for running simulations.
+
+I've helped push the lab towards Debian for ease of maintenance, and FAI
+fits right in there. Especially after reading infrastructures.org, I
+became convinced that this is a good road to go down. The biggest
+obstacle is the fact that the lab hardware is very heterogeneous.
+Sitting in South Africa, we mind our budget very carefully, and always
+go for the best deals we can get. Unfortunately we therefore don't buy
+PXE network cards or 100 identical computers at a time. A lot of legacy
+systems remain, combined with very recent and less supported hardware.
+The FAI system has made it easier, though, and I am satisfied with the
+results so far.
+
+I've been hacking at fai since May this year... I might send you patches
+once I've figured out what I've done myself :->
+
+Thanks again for a nice system!

+We have used FAI for installation of servers for some time now. Recently
+we had to design an enviroment for storing and processing of
+fMRI-scanner data (neuroimaging project for http://www.rug.nl/bcn).
+These systems had to be installed and supported by non-linux staff. The

+Installationprocedures are reduced to editing some files (dhcp, classes)
+and pressing <F12> (PXE networkboot) for an unattended install. In less

+How many hosts have you installed using fai? <b>4 currently</b>. The final

+
+How do you boot your host? Currently we boot from floppy, then the
+ information is pulled over by bootptab. At DKFZ, however, we are
+ part of a large network, so there is also a main bootptab running
+ over yp-server and dhcp. There are problems due to this. We would
+ like to use pure netboot as soon as possible.
+
+Do you use bootp or dhcp? bootp
+
+Does the default kernel recognize all your hardware? Yes. We've had to kernel problems.
+<br /><b>Additional comments:</b>
+My biggest problems, I think, have always been with ssh. Notice above
+what I had to do to get it running, and I >STILL< can't ssh in
+to a installing machine. Much of this ssh setup should be
+self-configuring during "fai-setup".
+
+In general, though I'm thoroughly happy with FAI, I would have to say
+that the version 1.3.1 should definitely NOT be in stable. The changes
+I had to make there were extreme. Even tracking down the posix problem
+in make-fai-nfsroot was a bit extreme. A typical user, simply
+shouldn't be expected to go through such lengths.
+
+Nevertheless, I would be very interested in your work for solaris. We
+also have +20 Solaris machines, which I could possible tie into the one cluster.

+How many host have you installed using fai ? <b>None</b>
+Which version of fai you are using ? <b>2.2.3</b>
+
+How do you boot your host ?
+ from floppy:
+ via network card: X
+ type of network card: 3C905C-TX-M
+
+Do you use bootp or dhcp ? DHCP
+
+Does the default kernel recognize all your hardware ? I used my own 2.4.X kernel.
+ Which drivers are missing: Mostly I was interested in having support
+ for the I845 chipset.
+<br /><b>Additional comments:</b>
+I had the following questions about using fai, which eventually led me
+to use a manual install rather than an fai install:
+
+1. Do I have to have RARP and NIS working on my server to use fai?
+Off-topic: Do RARP and NIS have to be working on my server in order
+to execute a remote install, whether or not I am using fai to do it?
+
+2. Why can't debdist be 'unstable'?
+
+3. Isn't it true that _either_ FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP _or_ FAI_BASETGZ should
+be defined, but not both? It's not clear whether all the configuration
+parameters have to be set, and whether one should specifically not set
+some parameters if others are set.
+
+4. I don't have a lot of space left on /usr/local/share, so I would have
+liked to change the default value for FAI_CONFIGDIR. But I needed to know
+-- how big does this directory have to be?
+-- what ownership/permissions does it need?
+
+5. Why does the fai install process require fixed IP addresses? I'd like to
+use dhcp without fixed addresses. This problem was really the reason
+why I finally decided to do the installation manually.
+
+FWIW, this is my situation/configuration:
+Currently, I run a sid system on my workstation. For testing purposes, I
+also used debootstrap to install potato and woody on separate partitions.
+Recently, I ran out of disk space, and decided to get a new computer
+(because the disk controller is old and slow). For this new computer,
+I chose not to get yet another floppy and CD-ROM, since I rarely use either.
+Therefore, I needed to do a remote install. I needed to build a custom
+kernel, since the motherboard (ASUS P4B) was fairly recent and required new
+drivers (particularly for the I845 chipset). I often have need for DHCP
+here (Windows visitors), so I wanted to set up DHCP on my server anyway.
+I was trying to figure out how to use fai in such a way that I could
+(a) use my custom kernel,
+(b) use my woody partition that was already insalled on my current
+(old) workstation, and
+(c) use DHCP.
+When I finally succeeded in getting DHCP to recognize the NFS-boot server
+with the custom kernel I'd built, I went ahead and proceeded with the
+roll-my-own install.

+<h1>Roadmap for FAI</h1>
+These are topics that are important for the next FAI release.
+If you have any suggestions or like to work on a topic, please get in
+contact before you start working.
+
+<h1>Topics for FAI 4.0</h1>
+<ul>
+<li> --- DONE ---
+<li> add MAC support for fai-chboot (in pxelinux.cfg file name) (DONE)
+<li> receive tar file of config space via http, use xz for compression (DONE)
+<li> get client config data which is needed in /target (sources.list, resolv.conf, hosts, apt
+preferences, other apt stuff) from the config space (using fcopy) instead of getting
+it from inside the nfsroot (DONE)
+<li> fcopy preinst exit code: #573044 (DONE)
+<li> should ainsl's exit code tell if something was appended? No. (DONE)
+<li> make uuid in disk_config default (DONE)
+<li> new variable FAI_RAMDISKS? mkramdisk will use it (DONE)
+<li> faimond-gui: new option, that uses half size icons, so more hosts
+can be displayed (DONE)
+<li> add GRUB2 support to fai-cd (DONE)
+<li> add option to fai-mirror to set MAXPACKAGES (DONE)
+<li> replace apt-proxy with apt-cacher-ng or approx (prefered by andreas) (DONE)
+<li> put Debian specific configs in the new class DEBIAN (DONE)
+<li> add cupt support to install_packages (DONE)
+<li> fai-cd should create USB stick using grub2 (currently only grub1 can be used for USB sticks)
+<li> make ext4 as default? then only grub2 will work (DONE)
+<li> --- TODO ---
+<li> better CentOS support (Michael Goetze is heavily working on this) checkout the svn trunk version
+<li> rename task prepareapt (use non Debian name), maybe task_prepare_repository
+<li> add option -l to fai command. List status of fai. Show list of
+classes, date of last fai action
+<li> analyse which files are change by make-fai-nfsroot inside the
+nfsroot. Try to remove those changes, so the nfsroot will be much more
+generic. Install client will receive those files later.
+<li> new action inventory
+<li> load *.asc files containing keys by class names
+
+<li> --- MINOR WISHES ---
+<li> send MAC address to faimond (or hostname), use BOOTIF for that?,
+patch from lhm
+<li> new option for fcopy, that replaces variables in the source
+file. Use %%_VARIABLENAME_%% ? check a mail concerning that
+<li> faimond-gui: new option, remove host if everything went fine
+<li> add new command collect-mac
+<li> NFSROOT using NFS v4
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+
+<h2>Timeline for next major release</h2>
+<ul>
+<li> The next major release will be FAI 4.0 (planed for 2011)
+<li> A first beta version was released in august 2010
+</ul>
