Back to the first post. It's wrong to use an unmodified fai.conf and try fai softupdate.
FAI_CONFIGDIR is only used on the install server. It's not used by an install client. Maybe the comment is a little bit confusing. So this variable should be moved to make-fai-nfsroot.conf to make things clearer. If you install a client using FAI, a new definition for FAI_CONFIG_SRC will be appended to /etc/fai/fai.conf during the installation (e.g. FAI_CONFIG_SRC=nfs://kueppers/srv/fai/cslenny). So the install client can do softupdate (from the same config space as during first installation), because it knows were to fetch the config space. If you like to use another source as config space, you have to edit FAI_CONFIG_SRC in /etc/fai/fai.conf on the install client. IMO the problem occured because of a bad usage of FAI_CONFIGDIR. -- regards Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
