resend after fixing the debian-edu mailing list address… Hi Phil,
(dropping debian-boot@ and adding debian-edu@l.d.o to the recipients, and leaving context for the latter...)

I'd like it to get into a state ASAP so that we can turn of the "g-i-installation" tests on jenkins.debian.net - how can I help with that? If i look at the job group "Debian" I cannot (yet?) clearly see which Debian images are tested how? I suppose it would be good to setup tests for stable and testing/unstable, and use the former to tests the tests and the latter to test Debian... :) (and both combined to test+develop the UI) -- cheers, Holger
