Provide extra firmware where debian-installer find it
I just patched the CD and DVD build system to try to provide the extra firmware packages in a location where debian-installer (hw-detect) is able to find them. The firmware packages are only looked for in / and /firmware/ on the CD and DVD, while we provided them in /pool/non-free/f/firmware-nonfree/. I implemented this by creating a script called using the DISC_FINISH_HOOK provided by debian-cd, and symlink from ../pool/non-free/f/firmware-nonfree/*.deb to /firmware/. I am unsure if using symlinks work, and a bit unsure if d-i will find these packages. I suspect d-i will ask for them even if they are available, so if you have hardware in need of extra firmware and test the latest lenny-test netinst CD, do not be surprised if the question show up even thought the firmware is available. Please test and let me know if this work? I lack hardware that need extra firmware, so I can't test this myself. :( Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-edu-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Debian Edu + Skolelinux: 2 names, 2 distros, 1 project
Hi, some days ago a IMO meaningful distinction and direction for the question in subject occured to me... Currently we struggle with both the problem of having two names for one project and with the problem of finding the right balance between freenees and usefulness in our release. So I had the idea to actually release two distros: a.) Debian Edu: 100% free, 100% Debian b.) Skolelinux: Debian Edu plus some non-free stuff schools need Both distros would be produced by the same project and released at the same time. What do you think of the general idea? For myself I can say that I would love to work on both distros, as I know of/value the importance of having a fully free Debian distro for schools/educational bodies (so they can use it as a base for their distro) and I know that (probably other) schools want a solution that just works and dont care that much about (short term) freenees (ie want firmwares and nonfree flash installed by default). cheers, Holger signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Did you submit any howtos, yet...? I wonder why only DHCPd should switch its NIC? Maby there is a way to - first rename eth0 to eth2 (or sim.) - bond0 := eth1+eth2 - then use eth0 as an alias for bond0. The last step is the hardest (I reckon) Regards Ralf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-edu-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

CNAME and powerdns
hello, i'm trying to add a CNAME for tjener (the new name should be ntinstall , which should be refer to tjener, for bind it was 'ntinstall CNAME tjener') After reading something about powerdns i add the following to the /etc/ldap/dns_skole.ldif --- dn: dc=ntinstall,dc=intern,ou=hosts,dc=skole,dc=skolelinux,dc=no objectclass: top objectclass: dnsdomain objectclass: domainrelatedobject dc: ntinstall cnamerecord: tjener.intern associateddomain: ntinstall.intern --- but it doesn't work.

You must add your entries to the ldap data base. Have a look at ldapadd Also you can compare your solution with www ... in the ldap data base because this is a cname for tjener.

Getting d-i to find firmware on the CD generated by debian-cd
In the Debian Edu project, we generate our own CDs with adjustment to the installer and provided packages. We have also included some non-free firmware deb packages in the naive hope that d-i would use them when needed. This has proven to not work, as d-i do not look for firmware packages in the APT repository on the CD. Yesterday, I figured out a workaround for this, and I wanted to share the solution with the rest of you, and ask if perhaps the default behaviour of debian-cd or d-i (hw-detect) should change to make this workaround unneeded. The d-i package hw-detect look for firmware packages in / and /firmware/ on the CD and USB stick available during installation, while debian-cd build CDs with packages under /pool/. To get d-i to find the provided firmware packages, I wrote a script to create /firmware/ on the CD and populate it with symlinks to the packages in /pool/. To enable it, set DISC_FINISH_HOOK in CONF.sh to point to a script looking like this: #!/bin/sh # # Debian installer (hw-detect) do not look in pool/ for firmware packages. # It only look in / and /firmware/ on the CDs and USB sticks. Adjust # the CD and DVD to also provide the firmware packages in a location # checked by hw-detect. set -e CDDIR=$4 mkdir $CDDIR/firmware cd $CDDIR/firmware ln -s ../pool/non-free/f/firmware-nonfree/*.deb . Should this be the default behaviour of debian-cd, or should hw-detect be changed to look for firmware packages where debian-cd put them when firmware debs is in the package list?
