Re: How to test Debian Edu Jessie using the current ISO (recipe for workarounds)

[Frank Weißer <linux@weisser-ol.de>]

Hi Petter!

Today, on 8. Linux-Informationstag Oldenburg, we rsynced 
ftp.skolelinux.no::cd-edu-testing-nolocal-netinst/debian-edu-amd64-i386-NETINST-1.iso 

and then tried a german tjener/ltsp installation from USB-stick on an 
elder Dell Latitude with 2nd NIC on USB for testing purpose.

We edited /usr/bin/edu-eatmydata-install before choosing the profile and 
had to answer the grub-install-question.

After reboot NICs again were disordered in 
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules.

Editing /etc/bind/named.conf.options helped nameserver to work.

We could log in with 1st user. With then created 2nd and 3rd one we 
could not. Editing "Password Storage" for these in GOSA from default 
ssha to sha and re-assigning a password  helped.

Hope this will help

Kind regards
