New test release almost ready, please test daily built DVD
I've spent this weekend tuning the DVD image, and am happy to report
that it is now working fairly well. I suspect we are almost ready for
a test release.
Please give the daily built DVD image a try, and record any major
problems found into
<URL:http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Status/Etch>.
Instructions on how to test the daily built DVD image is available
from <URL:http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/HowTo/TestCDinstall>. I
just updated it to use the latest URLs. Here is a short summary for
the impatient.
1 Make sure you have 12 GiB free space on your hard drive.
2 Install qemu as root using
aptitude install qemu
3 For faster qemu execution, install kqemu as root using
aptitude install kqemu-source kqemu-common
module-assistant prepare
module-assistant build kqemu-source
module-assistant install kqemu-source
modprobe kqemu && echo kqemu >> /etc/modules
4 Fetch the DVD image (4.4 GiB) using
rsync -vt \
ftp.skolelinux.no::skolelinux-etch-test-dvd/debian-edu-i386-DVD-1.iso \
debian-edu-i386-DVD-1.iso
5 Create 6 GiB sparse virtual disk using
qemu-img create virtualhda 6G
6 Boot qemu to run the installation
qemu -user-net -pci -m 128 -boot d -cdrom debian-edu-i386-DVD-1.iso \
-hda virtual-hda
7 Run the installed machine
qemu -user-net -pci -m 128 -boot c -cdrom debian-edu-i386-DVD-1.iso \
-hda virtual-hda
Happy hacking.
