The FAI software is divided in several packages:

  • fai-client: This package is needed on all hosts
  • fai-doc: The documentation
  • fai-nfsroot: Files only needed inside the nfsroot

  • Entry for /etc/apt/sources.list and for /etc/fai/apt/sources.list:

  • The packages are signed with the gpg key of Thomas Lange. Two ways of getting the gpg key in your apt configuration 
    gpg -a --recv-keys AB9B66FD; gpg -a --export AB9B66FD | apt-key add -
    wget -O - http://fai-project.org/download/AB9B66FD.asc | sudo apt-key add -

  • FAI packages from the official project repository or from a Debian mirror.
