Description: fully automatic installation
 FAI is a non interactive system to install a Debian Linux operating
 system on a PC cluster. You can take one or more virgin PCs, turn on
 the power and after a few minutes Linux is installed, configured and
 running on the whole cluster, without any interaction necessary.
