I've spent this weekend tuning the DVD image, and am happy to report that it is now working fairly well. I suspect we are almost ready for a test release.
Please give the daily built DVD image a try, and record any major problems found into <URL:http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Status/Etch>. Instructions on how to test the daily built DVD image is available from <URL:http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/HowTo/TestCDinstall>. I just updated it to use the latest URLs. Here is a short summary for the impatient. 1 Make sure you have 12 GiB free space on your hard drive. 2 Install qemu as root using aptitude install qemu 3 For faster qemu execution, install kqemu as root using aptitude install kqemu-source kqemu-common module-assistant prepare module-assistant build kqemu-source module-assistant install kqemu-source modprobe kqemu && echo kqemu >> /etc/modules 4 Fetch the DVD image (4.4 GiB) using rsync -vt \ ftp.skolelinux.no::skolelinux-etch-test-dvd/debian-edu-i386-DVD-1.iso \ debian-edu-i386-DVD-1.iso 5 Create 6 GiB sparse virtual disk using qemu-img create virtualhda 6G 6 Boot qemu to run the installation qemu -user-net -pci -m 128 -boot d -cdrom debian-edu-i386-DVD-1.iso \ -hda virtual-hda 7 Run the installed machine qemu -user-net -pci -m 128 -boot c -cdrom debian-edu-i386-DVD-1.iso \ -hda virtual-hda Happy hacking. -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
