we need testers of our wheezy images^wboot methods, those are cd+dvd images as
well as installation via pxe.
how to test is described in
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/HowTo/TestCDinstall though only briefly and
not really what to test. So updating this wiki page would be most welcome!
The first test scenario is rather simple:
- install a mainserver from cd or dvd
- create users in ldap (optionally mass import them)
- add a workstation to ldap
- install a workstation
- log in on that workstation as user
Then there are variations of that:
- install from pxe instead cd or dvd
- choose gnome (or xfce or lxde) instead of kde desktop
- test languages
- test diskless clients
- test mail setup
- test print (and adding printer)
While doing so, make sure that the documentation at
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Wheezy is complete and
accurate.
A bit more advanced is to test an installation with different network settings
than what we assume (10.0/16).
If you do tests, please regularily report your finding to the mailinglist
_and_ publish the logs regularily and link them on
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Status/Wheezy
cheers,
Holger
