Does your netinst CD contain all the packages necessary to build an LTSP
chroot? Otherwise, you'll need to preseed a network mirror... Though it
looks like you didn't even get far enough for that to be the issue...

This worked for me with a CD built using simple-cdd a few weeks
back. I'll give it another try and see if something has changed- I know
debian-installer has had a new release since then...

I'm wondering if Debian Edu still rearranges the order of boot options?
it might leave the CD in an unmounted state when ltsp-client-builder is
run?


live well,
