    At last I have a working debian-edu sarge CD. There are no known
    problems with the first stage (d-i) install. The second stage has a few
    known problems:

            - Asks a few too many questions, including time zone, about a
              second CD, and exim configuration.
            - Takes a long time setting up munin; dns issues?
            - Missing locale-config-skolelinux package, which leads to an
              error message at the end of the install. Konstantinos
              Margaritis is working on making this available for sarge.
            - Fails to properly display the error message, which is why it
              drops into the base-config menu near the end of the install.
              This should be fixed in the next build for now just scroll
              down to the next menu item and complete the install.

    The main problem with this CD is that it lacks the workstation profile.
    The education-workstation task in sarge depends on 400 mb of packages,
    which just don't fit on a single CD with the rest of debian-edu. The
    other profiles are available on the CD, and there are about 250 mb free.

    The image is available using ftp, but please use rsync if you can to
    save bandwidth. It is updated twice a day.

    I've not really tested the CD beyond initial install, so skolelinux
    experts, please check it out and let me know what's broken.
