Chapter 6. The First Stage of Skolelinux/Debian-edu Installation
There is plenty of editor available, I’ve standardized on the one called nano throughout this
document. It is installed by default, and it contains helptext, and is rather easy to use, unlike
others, which is generally more powerful, but nano suffices. There is more about nano in
Section 8.2.2. For now now I just say that when you start nano, you’ll see at the bottom
something like this:
^G Get Help
^X Exit
^O WriteOut
^J Justify
^R Read File
^W Where Is
^Y Prev Page
^V Next Page
The ^-symbol means that you should press CTRL in combination with the letter, e.g
CTRLand X is Exit.
The different *.table-files corresponds to different profiles, like this:
• Main-Server.table
corresponds to the profile Mainserver, see Section 2.2
• Workstation+Thin-Client-Server.table
corresponds to the profile Thinclient server, see
Section 2.3
• Workstation.table
corresponds to the profile Workstation, see Section 2.5
• Main-Server+Workstation.table
corresponds to a combination of Mainserver and Workstation,
see Section 2.7
• Main-Server+Thin-Client-Server.table
corresponds to a combination of Mainserver and
Thinclient server, see Section 2.7
If you wanted to increase the size of /usr when installing the profile Mainserver, you would in VT2
write nano /etc/autopartkit/Main-Server.table there you will see the line
/usr
lvm:vg_system:lv_usr:default
448
4096
meaning that the partition /usr will be minimum 448MB big, and maximum 4096MB big (if the overall
harddisk size allows this). If you want /usr to be 8000MB big, then you would edit the line to look like
this
/usr
lvm:vg_system:lv_usr:default
448
8000
If you would like to have a backup-partition on a machine installed with the profile Workstation, maybe
when you have setup a simple backup-machine, like described in Section 9.4, then you would in VT2
write nano /etc/autopartkit/Workstation.table and add this line
/backup
lvm:vg_system:lv_backup:default
10000
20000
that would create a backup-partition withe min/max-size of 10000MB/20000MB
Tip: You can of course add/delete, and change this later as you wish have a look at Section 8.5
