[...] I don't think fai-mirror was ever intended to serve as a mirror while running make-fai-nfsroot. Looking at fai-mirror, however, it does in fact add all the packages from /etc/fai/NFSROOT by default. There's a tiny little problem with live-initramfs: That one is not listed in /etc/fai/NFSROOT but is a dependency of the fai-nfsroot package. Therefore your workaround of added another class to your configspace is perfectly fine. Probably this should be considered a documentation problem. Best, Michael
