Hi Wolfgang, The offline installation incl. chroot worked perfectly. Thanks so much!
For the first time I also used boot parameters and I switched from kde to lxde. Issue 1: Im facing issues with my thin clients. My diskless workstations work just fine. None of my thin clients is able to boot anymore. The login screen never shows and I get a black screen. I faced this issue before with a few somehow special hardware thin clients but now all seem to be affected and on both subnets. Issue 2: When I start the server and get to the login screen I have the option Plasma available. When I choose it and log in I get an error message telling me that packages are missing. The user is then stuck and cant logout anymore. Is there a way to fully remove kde so the user cannot use it anymore and get stuck?
