The newest version of FAI, the Fully Automatic Installation tool set, now supports creating disk images for virtual machines or for your cloud environment.
The new command fai-diskimage uses the normal FAI process for building disk images of different formats. An image with a small set of packages can be created in less than 50 seconds, a Debian XFCE desktop in nearly two minutes and a complete Ubuntu 16.04 desktop image is created in four minutes.
New FAI installation images for CD and USB stick are also available.
