Bug#606313: debian-edu-install: LTSP installation fail when booting ISO as USB stick
Package: debian-edu-install
Version: 1.519
Severity: important
I just tested installing the latest squeeze-test netinst image using a
USB stick (possible thanks to the new isohybrid support), and the
installation ran into a problem with setting up LTSP. These are the
relevant log messages:

I guess this is because the LTSP code expect the ISO to be mounted as
/dev/cdrom, while it is mounted as /dev/sdb1 instead.
Setting severity to important, as this only affect thin-client-server
profiles, but suspect it should be seen as release critical for Debian
Edu/Squeeze.
Happy hacking,
