Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Today, I talk about FAI.me, which is a\Nbuild for images.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,First, anybody that never heard anything\Nabout FAI?
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Ok
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I started this project in 1999.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm not sure…
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,No, I'm sure that during those times, the\NDebian installer did not have
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the preseeding stuff, so we needed\Nsomething automatically.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I installed the first cluster with FAI and\NI always do talks on FAI or
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,today in the lightning talks, I talk\Na little bit about dracut,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is used in FAI.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, what was the motivation.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A neighbour of mine, she came to me with
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"My Windows desktop is broken,\Ncan you reinstall it?"
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And in the end, I installed her Linux,\Nand I was shortly thinking about
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Should I use FAI for installing her\Ndesktop with Linux?"
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And in the end, I did not use it because\NFAI is too complicated,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like the Debian installer, I guess it's\Nnot really that easy for beginners
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because there are a lot of questions
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but also FAI is not really for beginners.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So this was the motivation about thinking\Nabout FAI.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The target group was always advanced\Nsysadmins
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but I thought maybe it's possible to make\NFAI usable also for people
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that are not that advanced sysadmins.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The idea is that an installer should cover\Nmost installations.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The Debian installer is really perfect\Nbecause I think it covers
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,all different kinds and strange environments
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You can do a lot of things, you can configure\Nvery strange combination of language,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,keyboard layout and so on
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but I was thinking about an installer\Nthat covers 90 or 95% of the installations
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A lot of special cases can be ignored and\Nsince the Debian installer has like
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,more than 20 questions, I thought it would\Nbe much nicer if there were only
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,3 to 5 questions and I looked at Linux Mint\Nand Mageia installers, CentOS installer,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and they all ask much less questions.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In the Debian installer, we sometimes\Nhave also things that are asked
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,during the installation, so not everything\Nis asked at the very beginning.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For example, the task selection, where you\Nselect your desktop,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is done after the base installation.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This was also very important, I would like\Nto have something that
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,asks everything at the very beginning.
