Also, this will be added to the manual (both Maintenance and Features chapters): After a point release upgrade of a system with 'Main Server' or 'LTSP Server' profile, debian-edu-pxeinstall needs to be run to update the PXE installation environment. > > Symlinks were used to get access to upgraded d-i-n-i. > > Yes. I'm still looking for a way to teach tftpd-hpa to read the links. I stopped doing so, reasons are: Among a lot of other changes (DHCP, LTSP, iPXE, tools), the tftpd-hpa configuration would need to be tweaked to disable the --secure option. Also, now PXE installations are using graphical mode by default which (as a feature) needs to re-generate the Initrd to replace the Debian Installer logo with the Debian Edu one. So after a d-i-n-i upgrade, debian-edu-pxeinstall would need to be run anyway. Besides that, touching the Initrds belonging to the d-i-n-i packages would be a bad idea. (I noticed all this while playing with locally generated d-i-n-i packages for Bullseye.) Wolfgang
