    Severity: wishlist

    Hi...

    I used the FAI to make my own auto install system.
    Everything is fine with the NFS base envirnoment.

    However, I really hope there will be a feature to make a FAI-CD without
    the network.

    So I checked up the docs and find out the FAI-bootcd project.
    Unfortunately the version with fai-bootcd is old to the current
    version of FAI.

    I need to modify or rewrite the fai-bootcd script to merge the FAI. Some modification was needed to the make-fai-nfsroot.

    I think my friends or students would be happy if they got a FAI CD to
    install Debian without any iteractive promptions.

    Will it be possible that FAI will merge the feature of fai-bootcd..:-)
