I haven't yet used it myself, but it seems to be very complete :) http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/ In particular, have a read at the FAI guide on that site: http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/fai-guide.html/ -- Lee Braiden http://www.DigitalUnleashed.com -- ubuntu-users mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users |
