I am trying to test DebianEdu on virtual machines, using LXD/LXC, and
starting a main-server virtual machine from a base image is much more
convenient
than installing it from a CD/DVD iso.
This has some more details:

Besides, Debian is a system famous for being able to be bootstrapped and
installed completely from the command line. It seems more natural and
logical to install a server starting from a basic system. An installer that
simplifies a couple of steps is nice, but the first choice should be to
install from the command line. With the right scripts and tools this can be
made very simple too. With the complex installer, I think that now we are
in a situation that nobody understands anymore the full process of
installation (maybe I am wrong).

Cheers,
Dashamir
