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.
