Skolelinux / Debian-EDU: Images - too big!
Dear installer team,
your installer (Debian-Edu 9) is working great and I could not discover any
bugs yet.
But I have a wish: Could it be possible, to create two images, one for i386
and one for amd64? The actual one is too big to fit on a standard DVD
(multilayer DVD of course will work), but as most people are using normal
4,7GB DVD's, it would be nice, if the big 5,4 GB-ISO would be splittet in two
parts (i386 and amd64). So people must not download such a big image, and it
will fit on a 4,7GB DVD.
Also not all people (like me) own a fast internet connection.
What do you think, is this too much work or would that just easy to do?
Please answer me directly, I am not subscribed to the list.
Thank you very much for reading this.
Best regards
Hans
P.S. Oh, there was a little issue, I could still not verify: An automatic
installation to a 120GB harddrive, with the 650MB CD-Rom Image showed, the
partition /var is too small (just about 3 MB too small) to fit all the
downloaded packages in. So installation crashed.
I used "automatical partitioning". Maybe you might want to recheck this.
The former Debian-Edu 8 worked well with this installation kind.
However due to my limited bandwith I tried not again, but I will do during the
next 2 weeks. You will be informed!
