A: Read the FAI guide and this FAQ. Start with the simple examples |
| 9 |
|
|
FAI_CONFIGDIR. Install the stable distribution on your first clients! (See |
| 10 |
|
|
next question.) |

Q: I try to install testing or sid (unstable) and something goes wrong. |
| 13 |
|
|
|
| 14 |
|
|
A: testing and sid change every day. So it's possible that your problems are |
| 15 |
|
|
solved today or tomorrow. You should try again. It's recommendable to use a |
| 16 |
|
|
local mirror and freeze it when you found a working install. But we also |
| 17 |
|
|
recommend to use stable and local backport repositories whenever possible. |

Q: Where do I find the FAI mailing list ? |
| 20 |
|
|
|
| 21 |
|
|
A: There is a section "Mailing list" on the FAI homepage at |
| 22 |
|
|
http://www.informatik.Uni-Koeln.DE/fai/ |
| 23 |
|
|
Please use your favorite search engine to search for your questions before |
| 24 |
|
|
posting to the list! |
| 25 |
|
|
Also don't post complete logs. Most times it's sufficient to describe the |
| 26 |
|
|
setup (which version of fai, which version of debian on the fai server and |
| 27 |
|
|
which version to be installed with fai) and to post the part of the log(s) |
| 28 |
|
|
where the error occurs. Or provide logfiles on a webserver and post a link. |

Q: I cannot login via ssh to my install client(s) anymore. It used to work but |
| 35 |
|
|
stopped working suddenly. |

IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY! |

A: After you have reinstalled FAI on your server a new ssh host key is |
| 45 |
lange |
2216 |
generated. This also happens when you call "fai-setup" or "make-fai-nfsroot". |
| 46 |
|
|
Remove the relevant line from ~/.ssh/known_hosts and try again. |
