It does not allow you to run the network config unless you boot with the expert mode. Experts know what they want so they are allowed to shoot themself in the foot if they want to :) Generally the network config in the installer is used to get net access if you do a network install. And then later move the host into the 10.0.2.0/23 nerwork where it belongs.Ronny Aasen wrote:Frank Lienhard wrote:hint: If you dont want to read the docs.Hi there. I run a testinstall of debian-edu (as homenetwork for my family) I'm used to the debian installer, so no problems with expert-install. But although I configured my network to 192.168.1.* it comes up with: eth0 as 10.0.0.2 and eth1 as 192.168.0.* (which is i.O, because it's for the clients, if I'm right) So I edited the /etc/network/interfaces to my subnet, to be able to upgrade and install things over the net. But nevertheless which packagemanager I use (adept, aptitude) I get webcache errore like this: "webcache failed on 10.0.0.2:3184" there's a bug (1054) mentioned in bugzilla, but it only says it will do no harm (well no install, no upgrade is harm to me) any hints?Guilty!and don't let the installer be able to run the network config, which then is changed to default without a note.don't change the default values.
the other os's integrate with debian edu, and get ip address automaticaly from the dhcp server on the debian-edu main server, and if you have the router on 10.0.2.1/23 it will "just work". If you Must keep a old network while also running a Debian-Edu net, your choises are to either route between the networks (what i do) or renumber using the info in the urls from the previous mail.debian-edu is made for schools with an admin with less then 4h a week for it administration. Changing the ip configuration is a large task. it's usualy easier to change the ip of the router, then to change the network ip config.Only if you don't have a network running (with 'the-other-OS'), which depends on the routers IP.Which -I guess- is often the case.
Keep in mind that if you have a dhcp server on the router you mention, and you put a mainserver in the same network, things will not work as expected. You should generally only run the dhcp server on the Debian Edu main server.
documentation: http://wiki.skolelinux.no/DebianEdu/Documentation/Etch/ Especialy the requirements and gettingstarted are worth reading. if you insist on changing the ip subnet, read: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/HowTo/ChangeIpSubnetThanks for that
No problem. hope you find what your looking for :) Ronny
