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  creates  the  initial  NFSROOT
       directory and the configuration space.  It sets up the NFS exports configuration file (/etc/exports), 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, do not restart the nfs server, and do not  add  to
              /var/log/fai/variables.
