Add skolelinux related APT sources.

Install debian-edu-install to load preseeding values and pull in + our configuration.
Preseed debconf database with profile setup in + /etc/debian-edu/config, and run tasksel to install packages + according to the profile specified in the config above, + overriding some of the Debian automation machinery.
Run debian-edu-cfengine-D installation to configure everything + that could not be done using preseeding.
Ask for a reboot to enable all the configuration changes.

There are some steps in the Debian Edu installation that can not be +replicated like this. Disk partitioning and LVM setup, for example. +So this script just assume there is enough disk space to install all +the needed packages.

Second alpha release of Debian Edu / Skolelinux based on Debian Wheezy

The script was created to help a Debian Edu student working on +setting up Raspberry Pi as a +Debian Edu client, and using it he can take the existing +Rapbian installation and +transform it into a fully functioning Debian Edu Workstation (or +Roaming Workstation, or whatever :).

+ +

The default setting in the script is to create a KDE Workstation. +If a LXDE based Roaming workstation is wanted instead, modify the +PROFILE and DESKTOP values at the top to look like this instead:

+ +

+PROFILE="Roaming-Workstation"
+DESKTOP="lxde"
+

+ +

The script could even become useful to set up Debian Edu servers in +the cloud, by starting with a virtual Debian installation at some +virtual hosting service and setting up all the services on first +boot.

Sandy Island - Ã¸ya som er synlig hver tirsdag og fredag?

7th April 2013

For en stund tilbake gikk nyheten om -Sandy -Island, en Ã¸y som var dukket opp pÃ¥ noen kart, men som ikke var -synlig nÃ¥r en sjekket den pÃ¥ satellittbilder. Dagbladet meldte for -eksempel at -Â«denne -Ã¸ya finnes pÃ¥ kart, men ikke i virkelighetenÂ». Noe senere begynte -jeg Ã¥ lese -historier -om Ruffen til mine barn. Dette er historier om sjÃ¸ormen Ruffen -skapt av Tor Ãge BringsvÃ¦rd, som starter med fÃ¸lgende beskrivelse:

- -

-Â«Langt ute i havet ligger en mystisk Ã¸y. Den er bare synlig hver -tirsdag og fredag. Derfor stÃ¥r den ikke pÃ¥ noe kart. PÃ¥ denne Ã¸ya -ligger et slott, og i slottet bor en gammel, fin sjÃ¸ormfamilie.Â» -

- -

Det virker Ã¥penbart at Hr. BringsvÃ¦rd tok feil nÃ¥r han trodde den -ikke var pÃ¥ noe kart, og at noen tydeligvis har vÃ¦rt i nÃ¦rheten en -tirsdag eller en fredag og fÃ¥tt den med pÃ¥ et kart, mens -satellittbildene er tatt pÃ¥ noen av de fem andre dagene i uka og -dermed ikke ser Ã¸ya. :)

- -

I fÃ¸lge -en -senere artikkel i Dagbladet hevder Shaun Higgins, en forsker fra -New Zealand, at et hvalfangstskip fra 1876 er opprinnelsen til at -spÃ¸kelsesÃ¸ya i det hele tatt havnet pÃ¥ kartet. Det fremgÃ¥r ikke fra -historien hvilken ukedag de var innom.

- -

Jeg har stor sans for Tor Ãge BringsvÃ¦rd. Og han viste nylig en -svÃ¦rt fin side av seg selv da han sa ja til EFNs forespÃ¸rsel om Ã¥ gi -ut novellen KodÃ©mus med -Creative Commons-lisens.

+ How to transform a Debian based system to a Debian Edu installation +

+ 17th May 2013 +

+ +

Add skolelinux related APT sources.
Create /etc/debian-edu/config with the wanted configuration.
Install debian-edu-install to load preseeding values and pull in + our configuration.
Preseed debconf database with profile setup in + /etc/debian-edu/config, and run tasksel to install packages + according to the profile specified in the config above, + overriding some of the Debian automation machinery.
Run debian-edu-cfengine-D installation to configure everything + that could not be done using preseeding.
Ask for a reboot to enable all the configuration changes.

The default setting in the script is to create a KDE Workstation. +If a LXDE based Roaming workstation is wanted instead, modify the +PROFILE and DESKTOP values at the top to look like this instead:

+ +

+PROFILE="Roaming-Workstation"
+DESKTOP="lxde"
