It is proposed to use USB sticks instead of DVDs, 8GB sticks would be sufficient. > What do you think, is this too much work or would that just easy to > do? Besides the additional amount of work it won't be useful: Debian Edu still defaults to use 32-bit for the LTSP chroot (to be able to support as much old hardware as possible). So in most cases 64-bit packages are required for the server side and 32-bit ones for LTSP. > P.S.

So installation crashed. I'm unable to reproduce it for a default combi server installation (profiles 'Main-Server, Workstation, LTSP-Server, KDE). Could you tell us more about your installation? > I used "automatical partitioning". Maybe you might want to recheck this. Yes. Although there was still space left on /var during my recent test, some more space would be good to be on the safe side. > However due to my limited bandwith I tried not again, but I will do during the > next 2 weeks. You will be informed! Thank you very much for your report, Hans. Wolfgang
