- 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 |

- 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 |
