Hello Carsten,
Thank you for your answer.
Yes I thought I could do this and so it pops up this question: FAi looks really very usefull but is it necessary to add in 50-host-classes every host I want to install ? I mean is there a way to read a file (for instance) with the different hosts name I want to install and fire FAI (instead of editing 50-host-classes )?

Valérie

given that each host name is also a "class", can you try to map your 
usernames via the host names?

Cheers
