This is FAI (Fully Automatic Installation) version FAIVERSIONSTRING

FAI is a tool for unattended mass deployment of Linux. It's a system to install and configure Linux systems and software packages on computers as well as virtual machines, from small labs to large-scale infrastructures like clusters and virtual environments. You can take one or more virgin PC's, turn on the power, and after a few minutes, the systems are installed, and completely configured to your exact needs, without any interaction necessary. It can be used for creating custom disk images used in virtual machines or on a cloud-computing platform. FAI uses Debian Linux but it can install and deploy multiple distributions like Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL and SUSE. Changes to the configuration files of the operating system can be made by shell or Perl scripts or any other configuration software.
