6     from /etc/fai.conf to /etc/fai/fai.conf
7 lange 1159 * store log files to $LOGDIR (default to /tmp/fai), can be set in fai.conf
8     * read also subroutines-$OSTYPE file
9 lange 1019 * fai.conf: moved to /etc/fai/fai.conf
10     variables removed: FAI_ARCH, UTC (now in class/*.var), KERNELVERSION
11 lange 1159 variables added: FAI, FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP_OPTS
12 lange 1019 * make-fai-nfsroot sets up pxelinux environment
13     automaticly determine kernel version; added get_kernel_version(),
14     copies /etc/fai/.cvspass to nfsroot, can now write the floppy image to
15     a file
16 lange 1037 added call_with_stamp subroutine, for easy creation of stamps
17     Tue Jan 29 20:19:27 CST 2002 -- Chad Walstrom <chad@debian.org>
18     Added support to run script as a recovery operation. This is a
19     glue-script; we may as well provide the ability to fix problems and
20     continue. Changes include:
21     - Adding a RUNDIR environment variable
22     - A command line option "-r" for recover operations
23     - logic tests and stampfiles to appropriate function calls
24     Checked for existance of character file dev/boot255 before calling mknod.
25     Checked for existance of $NFSROOT/proc/modules file before calling
26     umount $NFSROOT/proc
27     Recursively copies contents of /etc/fai/ directory (good if using CVS)
28 lange 1075 Install $NFSROOT_PACKAGES in a second pass, to sidestep conflicts
29     (e.g. so that ssh may replace rsh-client)

42     file system if available, otherwise use normal ramdisk, strip comment lines
43 lange 1019 when defining classes via scripts, added subroutine do_script,
44     do_scriptss calls every script class/<classname>/S[0-9]* when class is
45     not a file, execute all S[0-9]* scripts in a directory
46     /fai/scripts/$class/, skip all comment lines when definig classes
47 lange 1075 task_partition() call setup_harddisk only if no disk_var.sh exists
48     defclass also sources all scripts class/S*.source
49     add subroutines adddivert(), rmalldivert(); task_finish calls
50 lange 1159 rmalldivert, task_sysinfo calls kudzu; save_log*() -maxdepth not
