Hi Wolfgang,

I can confirm that an installation of DebianEdu Stretch is possible even
without internet connection if the ?LTSP Server? profile is unticked
during installation.

Wouldn?t it be an option to add the ?LTSP Server? afterwards, once the
?Main Server? and ?Workstation? profiles are ready?

If yes, how is this done?

Kind regards,
Roman
