FAI-CD automates the installation process from a CD or DVD, enabling users to install software easily and efficiently without manual intervention.
FAI-CD offers a unique approach to fully automatic installation from CD or DVD. This software tool simplifies the installation process by including all required data on a CD for a complete and hassle-free installation. You won't need any network connection as the entire system can be installed from the CD.
One of the most notable features of FAI-CD is that it creates an ISO image that includes nfsroot, configuration space, and a partial Debian mirror. In addition, you have the option of choosing FAISERVER to install the host as a FAI install server.
However, it is essential to note that the XFREE configuration uses a 24-bit color depth by default. Therefore, on older graphics cards, the system may not successfully start gdm. Furthermore, the system will be installed to the first disk (either IDE or SCSI) with all data on the disk being deleted.
All log files from the installation can be found in /var/log/fai/localhost/last/. After the installation, the account demo with the password fai is available, along with the root password, which is also fai.
Overall, FAI-CD is a reliable software tool that allows for a fast and straightforward installation process. The included features make it an excellent choice for users who prefer automated installation without a network connection.
