FAI-CD Fully Automatic Installation from CD or DVD
Perform a FAI installation from CD-ROM without setting up an install server.
FAI-CD puts all data needed for a fully automatic installation on a
CD. So no network is needed and you can install the whole system from
CD. The script creates an ISO image that includes the nfsroot, the
configuration space and a partitial Debian mirror.
Look at the fai-cd slideshow! 20

Short description for the sample FAI-CD image
- The Xorg configuration uses 24 bit color depth by default, so on
older graphics cards, it will not succesfully start gdm.
- The system will be installed to the first disk (either IDE or
SCSI). All data on the disk will be deleted.
-
- All log files from the installation can be found in /var/log/fai/localhost/last/
- After the installation the account demo with the
password fai is available.
- The root password is also fai.
