Hi! The reason why dirinstall does not work as expected when using a relative path is IMHO fairly deep inside fai: task_defvar performs a "cd /" ...
The attached patch replaces this with a proper cd command and removes another cd / at the end of FAI. The patch is untested and may break other (then buggy) parts of FAI. Best, Michael
