Ok, I've just added code to debian-edu-test-install to write timestamps to the logfile, so we can find out, which test takes so long and then hopefully fix that. > > Why is it run twice? > This is a suger profile issue, because the suger profile do not > install readahead, Ah, ok. For now, I would propose that the Sugar profile doesnt install readahead as the typical machines where the Sugar profile is most useful (small laptops like the OLPC XO or the EEEPC) have flash drives and readahead is basically useless (or maybe harmful (in the sense of being slower not faster)) on flash disks, as they virtually have no seek times anyway. > and there is a bug in the script as it crashes and > do not clean up if /etc/readahead/ exist when the test script is execited. I added a check to debian-edu-install.firstboot to test if readahead is installed, so that /etc/readahead/profile-once is only touched if it is. > > Why is it run? > To detect bugs in the installation system.
