Bug#846006: debian-cd: please provide flavor/spin netinst image for Debian Edu
Hi all,
Sorry for jumping in. Just a small voice. While I haven't tried the
latest netinstall but my experience in alpha 2 was that I had to run
it couple of times before it was able to do the needful. I do not know
the reason for it other than the fact that net connectivity at my end
goes down sometime.

The whole idea of netinstall at least for me is and was a progressive
installer. Just having the base image should be enough to have a
console and a sources.list which has
#### Debian buster #########
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ buster main
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian buster main
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates main
as the default.
I removed contrib and non-free (for firmware related packages) and
have a base for people to use from start. Also maybe have a different
desktop then LXDE (mate being preferred) but dunno if this can be
achieved. If there is a way to workaround so that it doesn't download
LXDE and downloads mate-desktop and at the very least gives me a
console and apt would be pretty satisfying. I know this is bit
different than Debian Edu goals (lxde being preferred for low-memory
usage) .
If needed can make another bug report but would like to hear what
other people think before putting the bug against debian-cd if it's a
worthwhile pursuit.
