Hi Andreas, I am trying to build such an image from the bottom up, and unfortunately I am blocked at the partitionning during the execution of the Debian Installer. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=637784 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partman-base/+bug/862903 If this problem is solved and no other bug comes in the way, the preparation of Debian Med cloud images should become very straightforward. In the meantime, there is of course the possibility to start from an existing Debian image and apt-get install med-cloud. But there is no such thing as an official minimal Debian image, and preparing a rigorously clean public image (with no .history file forgotten behind, and no traces of previous activities left via the swap or via deleted, but recoverable, files, …), is tedious.
