FAI

A bunch of bugs were fixed. This release is ready to go for Debian squeeze and can also be used with Debian lenny. It supports the installation of CentOS and Scientific Linux Cern using an adjusted config space.

Fixes were made for Ubuntu and upstart. Many fixes and enhancements were made for setup-storage. Installation was made faster by using a ramdisk.

Now it's very easy to set up a FAI install server for i386 on a host running AMD-64 and vice-versa. Many bugs were closed, including many improvements in
setup-storage. Automatic tests are now supported. There is support for apt keys using files named package_config/*.asc. Debian geo mirrors are used in the default configuration. The fai-guide is now written in AsciiDoc.

There are many changes in the templates and example scripts. This release has kernel 2.4.20 support, uses a stand alone script for defining classes, and more.

The default name for the 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 DHCP protocol A wrong symlink for rcS_fai has been fixed. id_dsa* and id_rsa* files are copied in make-fai-nfsroot. use strict is enabled in the Perl scripts. "append ip=dhcp" has been added to pxelinux.cfg/default. There are minor changes in packages_config files. The setup_harddisks default filesystem type has changed from auto to ext2.
