as well.
Features people may find useful: installs encrypted trisquel, debian,
-ubuntu, and arch (havne't done recently, probably a bit broken), in a
-multi-boot setup using multiple subvolumes of a single btrfs filesystem.
-Utilizes multiple disks, with scripts to automatically decrypt on
-intentional reboots, but not after shutdown or power loss.
+ubuntu, arch, and parabola (archlike install is likely broken, I've only
+done pxe boots recently), in a multi-boot setup using multiple
+subvolumes of a single btrfs filesystem. Utilizes multiple disks, with
+scripts to automatically decrypt on intentional reboots, but not after
+shutdown or power loss.
Normal install mode for fai is using pxe, but on a libreboot system,
there is no pxe. The pxe in a normal computer is nonfree
scripts from https://iankelling.org/git, and of course there are some
hostnames that are specific to my network.
+Before doing a fai install, you will need to populate a class file. I
+use one called 5-multi-boot, which you can see example of in
+fai/config/class/50-host-classes.
+
+Before doing a fai install, you will need to populate /q/root/luks and
+/q/root/shadow, see their references. You might also want to copy
+existing /etc/ssh/*host* to
+/p/c/machine_specific/HOST/filesystem/etc/ssh.

All scripts meant to be used directly are listed here:
# Scripts to setup the environment for the install
-arch-pxe # Setup arch pxe boot server from an arch base image
+sudo fai-cd -g $PWD/grub.cfg.autodiscover -f -A $BASEFILE_DIR/autodiscover.iso # create autodiscover cd
+mymk-basefile # Create basefiles for various distros
+archlike-pxe # Setup pxe boot server from an archlike base image
fai-redep # Deploy fai configuration to host "faiserver"
-faiserver-revm # using pxe & preseed, create a vm which is a fai server
faiserver-uninstall # uninstall fai-server
faiserver-setup # install fai-server on the current machine
myfai-chboot # setup fai tftp and nfs. useful for doing pxe-kexec
# Script to do a distro install
+faiserver-revm # using pxe & preseed, create a vm which is a fai server
dsfull # install & post-install a new fai distro
arch-init-remote # install arch after it's been booted into it's setup env
-fai-kexec # Kexec this or a remote machine using host faiserver
-live-kexec # fai kexec from upstream live cds, e.g. curl live-kexec|bash
+live-kexec # Kexec this or a remote machine using host faiserver. also
