This is FAI (Fully Automatic Installation) for Linux
|
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Version 1.1 beta2 , june 20, 2000 (for Debian 2.X aka potato)
|

|

FAI is a non interactive system to install a Debian Linux operating
|
| 6 |
system on a PC cluster. You can take one or more virgin PCs, turn on
|
| 7 |
the power and after a few minutes Linux is installed, configured and
|
| 8 |
running on the whole cluster, without any interaction necessary. Thus
|
| 9 |
it's a scalable method for installing and updating a cluster with
|
| 10 |
little effort involved. FAI uses the Debian distribution and a
|
| 11 |
collection of shell- and Perl-scripts for the installation
|
| 12 |
process. Changes to the configuration files of the operating system
|
| 13 |
are made by cfengine.
