What I do is rsyncing the DVD image. This happens usually in an
acceptable time frame.
However, the installation of a Workstation (especially with LTSP)
takes another couple of hours. Sooner or later we should perhaps think
about ways to reduce that, absolutely.

Perhaps providing a base version without any educational packages as
install option?
Another really good thing for testing: With the command:
etckeeper vcs diff
You can figure out what you changed when modifying the system (but no
ldap entries etc. of course).
