And of course, I understand it is much work to split 32-bit and 64-bit. My idea was, if you just need to enter one single variable in a script, to get 2 seperated isos, then you shopuld have done it. But a it is more work than this, let it as it is. > I'm unable to reproduce it for a default combi server installation > (profiles 'Main-Server, Workstation, LTSP-Server, KDE).

Just a 64-bit system with 1 GB RAM, 2,6GHz CPU, 64-bit, 2 network cards and a 120GB sata drive. It is not a productive system, just for myself to lear about the installation process. 120GB should be enough, and debian-edu 8 was working well. I tried text installation and graphical installation, just as customers would do. But I came in trouble, as I wrote. Strangewise I have the feeling, that graphics- and textinstallation differ. Partitioning looks different, somehow, but could not prove it yet. As I have a very slow bandwith at the moment (50kB/sec) , it is PITA to install via CDROM, and usb-stick is not bootable. Thus I have to download all the stuff from the internet, and there I went in trouble with the space on /var, I wrote about. > Yes. Although there was still space left on /var during my recent test, > some more space would be good to be on the safe side. Not much more needed, on my tests there were just 3-5 MB missing, but you should spend more, as packages may grow from time to time. How about jigdo? I like jigdo for creating installation DVDs, as they were also easy updatable. And jigdo is already configured for debian DVDs, just an idea! > > Thank you very much for your report, Hans. Youre welcome! It might last some time, as I am not always have time to test things. > > Wolfgang Best regards Hans P.S. you can answer me in German or English. I am German.
