Hello all.

Does someone use FAI to install the base system that will be managed by 
Salt?
I'm trying to integrate 'em but there's still something that doesn't 
"click"...

My current idea is to use Salt to orchestrate the install, but maybe 
it's better left to FAI? How can I "pass around" minion key so I don't 
have to manually re-approve the new key every time?
The ideal scenario would be: target generates its keypair, sends the 
pubkey to FAI that "certifies" it's from the system being installed and 
passes it to Salt. Should I write a custom fai-monitor (that would be 
needed anyway to disable netboot once system is reinstalled)?

TIA.
