And since this server is an HP with a SmartArray SCSI controller, I've
feed HP with info about the simple workaround needed to fix
installation on this card. I'm told by the 

see http://bugs.skolelinux.no/show_bug.cgi?id=789

I managed to file the bug wrongly in Debian BTS, as additionalinfo to an old
bug report. I'll try to fix the mistake.

That means that we should not build woody CD's at this times of the
day. I guess pere has noticed already, since he has changed the
frequency of the woody builds.

I know. I think that the packages as they are today, should be able to
go into sarge, but the problem then is that they may block other
packages to enter sarge. One such problem is I guess the gimp packages.
The Debian-edu Should not, in this stage of Sarge, be allowed to block
anything from entering Sarge.
