Hi Yesterday I installed the first debian-edu barebone profile in my qemu session. According to the debian bug[1] we worked on a blank profile for the administrator. This profile won't show up during a normal debian-edu installation, just if you type "debian-edu-expert" at the boot prompt with some other options. So a valid value for the boot prompt would be: "linux debian-edu-expert" This gives you the normal debian-edu installation and adds the barebone profile to the profile list. Because most of us are testing in qemu I encourage everybody to try to install a barebone profile and see if it fits into a normal debian-edu network. The profile should be connected to the ldap and to the network and work as a workstation profile, but without having any special services (e.g. X with kde). As said the intention of that profile is to get a blanket installation which is connected to the debian-edu network, so that the administrator can choose its purpose. At a later point we can also talk about the debian-edu-expert mode and if we for instance should disable autopartitioning and leave it with manual partitioning (which is as far as I remember also a wishlist feature). Here comments are also welcome. Anyway everybody can contribute by testing this daily build image[2] (which is changing everyday) and submitting bugs and wishlist features to the bugzilla[3] or to the Debian BTS[4]. Thanks for your help.
