New Skolelinux CD image prerelease 40 (pr40)



I've made a new Skolelinux CD image, prerelease 40.  It is available
from <URL:ftp://developer.skolelinux.no/skolelinux-cd/>.  The image
size is 648 MiB.

Major changes since the previous image:

  * In first stage installer (debian-installer):
      + Improved PCMCIA and USB support. (Debian)
      + Made it possible to return to automatic installation when a problem
        occur and manual installation is enabled. (Debian)
      + Added/improved translations. (Debian)
      + Moved swap onto LVM, to get as many partitions as possible to use LVM,
        and gain some flexibility when it comes to resizing them. (Petter)
      + Removed all manual partitioning tools as a workaround for a bug in
        main-menu. They will be put back when the bug is fixed. (Petter)
      + Fixed lots of bugs. (Debian)
  * Added some admin utilities: arping, finger (Petter)
  * Installed correct PXE kernel for LTSP (Ragnar) (Fixes bug #422)
  * Corrected laptop profile to get it included on the CD. (?)
  * Improved Northern Saami translation of KDE. (Børre)
  * Translated question about root password to Norwegian Bokmål. (Petter)
  * Made sure LDAP authentication (and every other access to the user password)
    always uses an encrypted channel over SSL/TLS. (Jarle/Ragnar/Petter) (Fixes
    bug #213, #404)
  * Changed default umask to 002. (Petter) (Fixes bug #430)
  * Upgraded base-config to the Debian Sid version. It contain some of the code
    we had to keep in Skolelinux earlier, but can remove now.
  * Security updates to: kdelibs (to 4:2.2.2-13.woody.8), man-db (to
    2.3.20-18.woody.4), nfs-utils (1:1.0-2woody1), perl (to 5.6.1-8.3), unzip
    (to 5.50-1woody1),
  * webmin-ldap-skolelinux somewhat (fixes bug #100)
      + Added File import (fixes bug #268) (finnarne)
      + Added objectclass top on every object created(fixes bug 418)(pere/
        finnarne)
      + Changed make_uid to use libtext::unaccent(andreas)
      + wls now uses tls (fixes bug #404) (ozmund)
  * New translations for the installer interface: dutch, french, german,
    latvian, sami, and spanish.

  * I probably forgot something.

I have testet that the CD is bootable and installable using VMWare.

A list of known bugs is available from <URL:http://bugs.skolelinux.no/>.

The following configuration for server and LTSP-server should work out
of the box:

 - Apache
 - CUPS
 - DHCP
 - DNS
 - LDAP
 - LTSP
 - NFS/SMB
 - NTP
 - SMTP/IMAP
 - SSH
 - Squid
 - Webmin
 - User administration

The following services do not work as they should:

 - cfengine (need netgroups, ie LDAP or NIS)
 - Backup (no one has worked on it)
 - SQL-tjener (will not install automatically)
 - Appletalk (no one has worked on it)

Test it and find out more. :-)

The disk usage for the different profiles (in KiB) is as follows.
Please take the numbers with a small grain of salt.

All in all there are 824 packages on the CD.  Since the last time
there has been 16 packages added, 94 packages changed/upgraded and 14
packages removed.  The defaults is at the end of this email, and
updated information is available from

Several packages are dropped either from our profiler, or from the CD.
