NAME

       fai-setup - Setup script for Fully Automatic Installation (FAI)

SYNOPSIS

       fai-setup

DESCRIPTION

       Fully  Automatic  Installation  (FAI) is used to provide unattended installation of Debian
       GNU/Linux operating systems with a very flexible class-based system.  fai-setup is a shell
       script  written for FAI to create the initial NFSROOT directory, add that directory to the
       NFS exports configuration file (/etc/exports), prepare the files as  necessary  to  create
       the  network  boot  floppy  disk, and create the initial fai user that is used for copying
       over the installation logs to a centralized directory on the server.   fai-make-nfsroot(8)
       is called to create the initial NFS root directory.

       fai-setup should be called after each change to /etc/fai/fai.conf.

OPTIONS

       All options are also passed to fai-make-nfsroot.

       -C CFDIR
              Use  CFDIR  as  configuration  directory. Default is /etc/fai. You can also set the
              environment variable FAI_ETC_DIR.

       -e     Expert mode. Do not add entries to /etc/export and do not restart the nfs nserver.
