Testing Debian Edu in qemu

[Petter Reinholdtsen <pere@hungry.com>]

I test the Debian Edu installation using qemu.  And to help do this
efficiently, I have written a script to run the commands in the
correct order.  The script has grown over the years, and this is what
it currently do:

 - Fetch the latest CD netinst image from ftp.skolelinux.org using
   rsync.
 - Create the hard disk images for the main-server and the
   workstation.
 - Start a qemu to install a main-server, using qemu user network to
   get online.  Terminate qemu when it is done installing and fail to
   boot from hard drive.
 - Wait for [enter] to be pressed in the terminal, and start (1) a
   gateway using floppyfw, (2) the freshly installed main-server, (3)
   a PXE booted workstation to be installed, (4) a PXE booted diskless
   workstation and (5) a PXE-booted thin client.  All of them
   networked using qemu multicast.

About 35 GB of disk space is needed if both the virtual hard drives
are filled.  If not, around 7 GB is needed.

Here is the script.  Please give it a go and let me know if it help
you test the Lenny based Debian Edu.  Perhaps it should go into our
svn?
