Yes. The PXE installation inherit the desktop seting of the server, so if you had installed the server using desktop=lxde, the clients would become LXDE desktops too. /usr/sbin/debian-edu-pxeinstall is the script setting this up, and if I remember correctly, the desktop value used by PXE clients is in /var/lib/tftpboot/debian-edu/install.cfg To make sure the change stick, I recommend changing the value in debconf and run debian-edu-pxeinstall again to generate a new configuration: echo tasksel tasksel/desktop string lxde,xfce | debconf-set-selections Note that you can specify several desktop environment in the variable, or just one if you do not want several available. > Are there more settings I can change when installing a workstation? Sure. The preseed file is in /etc/debian-edu/www/debian-edu-install.dat, and you can change lots of stuff there. The supported way to add/change settings is to write values in /etc/debian-edu/www/debian-edu-install.dat.local and rerun debian-edu-pxeinstall. > Where can I find the documentation? Not sure.
