Debian Edu organizes Java meeting (DevJam) during FOSDEM
I'm happy to report that Debian Edu, represented by Andreas Schuldei and Petter Reinholdtsen, has taken the initiative to get as many free Java developers together for a development gathering during FOSDEM, and that we have succeeded to get sponsoring from SUN Microsystems to make it happen. We hope this will make sure the Java situation in the free software world continue to improve and that the important actors are well coordinated and make Java a first class citizen in the free software community. :) I suspect most of you do not know that these things happen in the background, so I wanted to mention it here. More info on this FOSDEM meeting is available from URL:http://wiki.debian.org/Java/DevJam/2007/Fosdem. For those of you visiting FOSDEM, there is even a chance I will manage to get down there. I hope to see you there. Friendly, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[Holger Levsen] Also I noted that when I choose standalone, I'm prompted for local user creation (and not only the root passwd) - is that the same on i386? This question is still open. Yes, standalone installations are supposed to get a local user, so it is correct that it ask about local users.

But it fails :-/ failed to partition: this probably failed because there are too many (primary) partitions in the partition table. I dont really understand this, because grep primary lib/partman/recipes-powerpc-powermac_newworld/90edumain |wc -l 2 Also, why does autopartitioning not happen if I choose workstation and standalone? Is that the same on i386? regards, Holger pgplFacx2wXqL.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: etch-test-powerpc
[Holger Levsen] Also, why does autopartitioning not happen if I choose workstation and standalone? Is that the same on i386? Autopartitioning should happen for workstation installs. Standalone installs should provide manual partitioning. Friendly, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

If I choose workstation alone, it even happens on powerpc, but then it complains that no newworld boot partition has been created... regards, Holger pgpyUuf8cyK12.pgp Description: PGP signature

Best regards Knut Yrvin Hi Knut, hi all, I'd love to read about your talk and what feedback you got about other projects when you're back. Cooperation and working together are exactly what I am trying to do and to start. I hope to meet you and Ralf and other debian-edu developers in FOSDEM so we can share our ideas and start doing some things together (Sunday morning the KDE room is all for us for 3 hours! Feel free to invite as many people as possible see http://fosdem.org/2007/schedule/devroom/kde) Looking forward to meeting you all, Anne-Marie -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I'll let you know as soon as I know :) Another thing which came to my mind, thinking about how Linex could become the spanish version of Debian-Edu/Skolelinux: what does Linex (not) have, what other spanish regions need/want? Languages, I guess, what else? The situations with different languages is similar in other regions, e.g. also in regions in Germany, but it's covered by the multi-lingual debian-installer (and desktop) already. And we'll probably end up with different CDs for different regions (be it a whole country or even a city only or a (big) school) anyway, for space reasons on the CD. But those CDs should be build from the same source :-) regards, Holger pgpQY9DZ5cO3i.pgp Description: PGP signature
