Test release 1, 2006-09-24
After months of hard work, a new Skolelinux CD image is ready. This is the first test CD preparing for a debian/etch based release. It is available from FTP, HTTP and rsync. The image size is 695 MiB.
There are a lot of changes since the last CD release based on Sarge. Here are some highlights
- Ported the installer to etch using d-i beta3
- Linux kernel 2.6.17
- KDE 3.5.4
- New versions of educational software and improvements in the package choice
- LTSP 0.93debian1
- Now support resizing of LVM volumes without umounting
- Improved laptop support (hybernate, extra keys, wireless configuration)
- The installer now support encrypted file systems
- New debian-edu-expert mode with new profile and manual partitioning to enable a bare-bone system without any services, for single-service installs
- Debian-Edu bootsplash during the boot process
- Custom kdm and kde artwork
Some features are still not working as they should. We are aware of these at the moment:
- LTSP server is not set up during installation. It can be set up manually after the installation.
- LVM partitioning fail if an existing LVM partition is found on the hard drive. A workaround is to boot with boot param 'linux debian-edu-expert' to get the manuall partitioning. This will be fixed in the next version of debian-installer.
- Clock sync config with NTP client/server is not correct.
