3        - Era Erikson did some great work on sproofreading all manuals and
4          script comments. Great work Era!
5        - use the new script fai-class for defining classes (scripts in
6          class/ must not have prefix S; following command renames your
7          existing scripts: rename 's/^S(\d\d)/$1/' S* ), the order of
8          scripts executed has slightly changed: all classes from the file
9          $HOSTNAME are defined after the scripts in class/ are executed;
10          the suffix .sh or .pl is not needed any more
11        - hooks can make their task to be skipped (as in fai 2.2)
12        - scripts in class/ ending in ~ are not executed
13        - kernel 2.4.18 is the default kernel
14        - some functions are now separate scripts in /usr/lib/fai
15          (create_ramdisk,XXX), they are not standalone script, most of
16          the only work in the fai environment, this should solve the
17          problems with a too big environment (when using xargs)
18        - PATH always starts with /usr/local/{sbin,bin}
19        - make-fai-bootfloppy creates a more generic boot floppy which
20          support more boot protocols, more floppy disk space for kernel
21          available
22        - make-fai-nfsroot always does setup for dhcp and bootp
23        - new FAI_FLAG syslogd starts log daemons (syslogd and klogd) only
24          on demand
25        - save log files to host $LOGSERVER if defined, otherwise use $SERVER
26        - a lot of bug fixes
27    
28    New in FAI 2.3.4
29    
30        - the default name for fai kernel-image package has changed to
31          kernel-image-2.2.20_fai1_i386.deb, since the package fai-kernel
32          >=1.4 contains install kernels which support both the BOOTP and
33          DHCP protocol
34    
35    New in FAI 2.3.3
36    
37        - important bug fix (wrong symlink for rcS_fai)
38        - copy id_dsa* and id_rsa* files in make-fai-nfsroot
39        - use strict enabled in perl scripts
40        - add "append ip=dhcp" in pxelinux.cfg/default
41        - minor changes in packages_config files
42        - setup_harddisks default fs type changed from auto to ext2
