Introduction
-----------

This HOWTO is based on the work in the test lab of BzzWare AS
http://bzz.no.

Source of packages
------------------

I have preparred my own CD Image, which will be availible from:
 rsync -vt ftp.skolelinux.no::skolelinux-cd/debian-edu_sarge-powerpc-pr05.iso
it's also availible from 
 ftp://ftp.skolelinux.no/skolelinux-cd/debian-edu_sarge-powerpc-pr05.iso

The image building script is avalible from the CVS for debian-edu on
alioth.debian.org, as src/build/CD/buildCD.

This document is updated based on the content of 
 debian-edu_sarge-powerpc-pr05.iso

First stage installation
------------------------
To boot the CD, enter the following on the OF-prompt:
 boot cd install/pegasos

There is a bug that causes autopartkit to fail if used with the main-server, so you must set that up using partman (Partitioning disk)
you should have something like 
  / (root) 512 MB
  /usr     2-4 GB
  /var     512-1024 MB
  /skole/tjener/home0 1-5GB (for homedirs)
  swap     512-1024MB

To make the installation set up lessdisks thin clients, you need a
volume group vg_system, with at least 512 MB availible space. 
If I set up a combined server (main + thin client server), I normally use this schema
 / (root) 512
 vg_system (lvm partition) 10GB
 vg_data (lvm partition) rest

under vg_system I create the following partitions:
  /usr  4 GB
  /var  1 GB
  swap  512 MB

under vg_data, I create the following partitions:
  /skole/tjener/home0 2GB
  /skole/backup       4GB
 
Second stage installation
------------------------

Boot your installation by entering the following on the boot-prompt:
 boot hd:0 /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-powerpc root=/dev/hda1 ro
