Hi Petter, Seems like an endless struggle. What about my idea of switching to a usb installer? Then you could still have the netboot CD, or a <1GB SD card or stick for netbooting. However, for the full install you could aim for < 8GB SD card or stick. Of course if someone had an old 50GB usb drive handy, they could use that. The beauty of this method is that the media size grows, so that future releases you could aim for < 16GB, etc. Another plus would be to not keep burning discs and throwing them away. I don't think it would be much work, since even I was able to use the lenny image to create a usb installer, following instructions on the debian installer page. The only problem I had was the installer searching for a CD during an ltspserver install. cheers nigel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-edu-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
