One might also use http://ftp.skolelinux.org/skolelinux/needs_love.html, to verify that the regular iso's dont lag far behind the -test isos. If packages should be updated, send a request on ftpmaster@skolelinux.no.

You should also do a simple test install to verify that there are no very obvious bugs.

 * copy iso's from cd-*/ to skolelinux-cd/ and name it something like File: debian-edu_etch-$arch-test$nn.iso
 * Edit the MD5SUM file

 * the files would be available from ftp://ftp.skolelinux.no/skolelinux-cd

= Announcement Email =
A important part of the test release is the Announcement email. Hopefully the DebianEdu/ReleaseNotes have been updated thru the development process. If not you will have to write it yourself. when the iso's are available. Send the announcement email to the addresses listed at the end of DebianEdu/ReleaseNotes
