About:
FAI (fully automatic installation) is a non-interactive system to install a Debian GNU/Linux operating system on a group of PCs or a Linux cluster. After installation, the systems are fully configured and ready to run. It is a scalable method for performing unattended installation and updating. Changes to the configuration files of the operating system are made by cfengine, shell, and Perl scripts.

[»] FAI not what I had hoped
by Tommy Butler - Aug 22nd 2005 14:27:53

FAI is too bloody complicated man. I've spent two days on it with success in step by step trial and error, but what a waste of time. I could have had eight nodes up in my beowulf cluster by now, which is really all I need. FAI could use some serious improvement before laying claim to being "better than kickstart", which works great with minimal reading. Again, FAI was just a waste of time.
