I'll try to give some more background information. During installation of Debian Edu, a profile question is presented to the user, and based on the answer to thise profile question a lot of settings in the installer is adjusted. The package selection, setup and the partitioning are all affected by the answer. Because the partitioing is affected, the profile question need to be asked _before_ /target/ is available. When the profile question is asked, the default values are adjusted depending on the environment and the type of machine being installed. If installing in an environment without a main-server and on non-laptop hardware, the default is main-server + thin-client-server. If installing in the same environment on a laptop, the default is standalone. If installing in an environment _with_ a main-server and on a non-laptop, the default is workstation. If installing in an environment with a main-server present and on a laptop, the default is roaming workstation. To get this automatic setup working, we need laptop-detect in d-i. Please provide the udeb, to allow us to drop our copy of the laptop-detect in debian-edu-install. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-edu-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
