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. If we have this, users and admins from extremadura can add their own systemtypes, packagelists and confiugurations, and start installing their systems with FAI. It should be very much doable to get this done in a weekend.
- people interested in joining this effort:
- Thomas Lange (main FAI developer)
- Henning Sprang (Co-developer since multiple years, talked to César Gómez Martín about this at Linuxtag2007 in Berlin )
