Hi Peter, [ Peter Ehlert, 2021-06-20 ] > I just installed EDU using firmware-edu-10.10.0-amd64-netinst.iso on a USB > stick. > > The installer is the traditional DI that I am accustomed to, but setup very > differently. Yes. Debian Edu is a subset of Debian aimed at setting up a network for schools or similar organisations; the installer sports a profile choice page, and all needed information is gathered at the beginning of an installation. See the projects landing page: https://blends.debian.org/edu/ containing links to all needed resources, including the manual. > It detected the network and all seemed fine... Good. > I created a 30 GB root partition, 10 GB swap, and a 50 GB home. > I deselected the other swap partitions for the other OSs on that computer. > I did not install a boot loader by choice. > Installer complained as expected...

Installing Debian Edu together with other distributions like you tried it is only supposed to work if you'd choose the 'Standalone' profile, see the manual. > First boot: I could not login as a user "wrong password". > > anyway, I logged in as root. > > the boot splash screen says it is fails to connect to the network > XFCE tools are alien to me, so that does not help. All these issues seem to indicate that your choice on the profile page has been something else than 'Standalone'. > How do I start? Please read the manual. Wolfgang
