The FAI development team would like to help get the Extremadura Custom Distribution installed with FAI. We'd like to go there and check:

  • Does GnuLinex have an own Binary Repository, so is the whole distribution a Debian which is recompiled from source and some stuff added/changed, or is it only Debian Etch Binaries with some additional packages and configurations?

    • if the first (own binary versions): how is the base system bootstrapped, what else is needed to get it installed?
    • If the latter: what makes the Gnulinex distribution special (or: what is needed to make a Debian Install a Gnulinex install)

This information is all it needs to create a basic FAI configuration to install Gnulinex. Some testing and and tinkering will surely be necessray to get this running nice, but it should be possible to get this going in a long weekend.

Then, when we get there fast enough, we can also give some training/introduction for gnulinex/Extremadura people on the general use of FAI - together with the previously created config they shoud then be able to add their specific configs and special systemtypes, and get their systems installed automatically in a flexible way.
