Hi, The default offered profile in the netinst image (and BD image) for trixie 13.7.0 does not match the description that I got from Mike: Paraphrased: "If Tjener is not found in the network, the LTSP server option is enabled when there are at least 2 network cards present" I might have misunderstood, but the code in `debian-edu-profile` has code to set `defaultprofile="Main-Server, LTSP-Server, Workstation"` when Tjener is not found. The following code for `non_wifi_iface_count` is also incorrect (which should have added the LTSP-Server option: the network interfaces are no longer called 'ethNN', so the function always returns 0 Instead of `for iface in $(ip -o link | grep '^.: eth'|cut -d: -f2) ; do` it should do `for iface in $(ip -o link | cut -d: -f2 | grep -v '^ lo$'); do` to count all interfaces, except the loopback With kind regards, Roland Clobus
