This is not normal. The boot time should be shorter, but I do not know what can be wrong with your install. > Considerations ? Your talk about manual partitinoning make me wonder if you started the expert install or just answered no to automatic partioning. Did you configure the network as debian-edu expect it? The tjener.intern host should have 10.0.2.2/23 as its IP setup. If the installation is slow, it might be an idea to install the bootchart package and use it to get an idea on where the time is spent. I recommend using automatic partitioning when testing debian edu. > Are there any problems using ext2? Not really, but the automated tests to check if the installation was successfull assume the automatic partitioning was used and check that the file systems are ext3. > I didn't test the clients yet. > I think I'm going to reinstall it on ext3 and see if the problems > reported above are going to repeate. Using ext3 will get rid of the post-install error about ext2 file system. Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
