| 12:27 lazyb0y | juri_: fai-cd is not exactly a live-cd, I think. I'd expect a live-cd to be a running network fai server on a live cd. fai-cd is rather a custom installation cd |

| 14:22 juri_ | lazyboy: true. but you could build it into a live cd, with effort. i use it as a live cd, for recovery/backup purposes. |
| 14:51 lazyb0y | juri_: yes, we were thinking about this at debconf. something like bulding the nfsroot with dirinstall in a class-based fashion. then it would be easy to build customized live-cd's |
| 14:52 lazyb0y | (but not necessarily one that would install the machine the cd is running on, then) |

| 18:52 tek-ops | Hello everyone |
| 18:52 tek-ops | we're migrating away from mandriva, and are looking at FAI as a more efficient way to do so |
| 18:53 tek-ops | however we have both 32bit and 64bit systems in our evironment |
| 18:53 tek-ops | I'd prefer use a 32bit box as the FAI install server, however I'm wondering if it will be capable of doing the installs on 64 bit systems |
| 18:56 juri_ | negative. nfsroot creation requires use of a 64bit machine. |
| 18:57 juri_ | you can copy a nfsroot from a 64bit machine to the 32bit one... |
| 18:57 tek-ops | I can? |
| 18:57 juri_ | personally, if it were me, i'd concider using qemu to generate your 64bit image. it will be dead-slow on a 32bit box, but it'd function. |
| 18:57 tek-ops | hmmm |
| 18:58 tek-ops | so the install server doesn't actually run anything from the NFS root, it's just there as the template? |
| 18:59 psibox | having a 64bit nfsroot on a 32bit machine works, but it's really no fun. you can't chroot into the nfsroot and check things, for example |
| 18:59 psibox | if you have a 64bit machine, my advice is definitely to use that as the server for 32 and 64 |
| 19:00 tek-ops | yea good point |
| 19:02 tek-ops | if I use boot CDs for the 64bit system would it get around this? |
| 19:02 tek-ops | systems that is |
| 19:04 psibox | never used boot cds |
| 19:18 tek-ops | ok, great, thanks guys |
| Action: tek-ops heads back to the lab |

| 19:20 lazyb0y | hmm, didn't have qemu even some emulation layer to execute single binaries of another architecture? |
| 19:21 lazyb0y | couldn't that probably used to chroot into another arch's nfsroot (or even creating one, by running the other arch's debootstrap? |
| Action: lazyb0y doesn't have 64 bit to try... |
| 19:26 lazyb0y | hmm, there is something like that: qemu-user in the qemu package. but not clear how it's really supposed to work... |
| 19:28 psibox | hm. jetzt haengt sich fsck an den UUID= eintraegen in /etc/fstab auf. super. |
