cleanup from outdated information

    * '''Minimal'''
     This profile will install the base packages and configure the machine to integrate into the Debian Edu network, but without any services and applications.  It is useful as a platform for single services manually moved out from the main-server.
  
-  The '''Main Server''', '''Workstation''' and '''LTSP Server''' profiles are preselected. These profiles can be installed on one machine together if you want to install a so called ''combined main server''. This means the main server will be an LTSP server and also be used as a workstation. This is the default choice, since we assume most people will install [[DebianEdu/Documentation/Buster/Installation#Installation_over_the_network_.28PXE.29_and_booting_diskless_clients|via PXE]] afterwards. Please note that you must have 2 network cards installed in a machine which is going to be installed as a combined main server or as an LTSP server to become useful after the installation.

   * Say "yes" or "no" to automatic partitioning. Be aware that saying "yes" will destroy all data on the hard drives!  Saying "no" on the other hand will require more work - you will need to make sure that the required partitions are created and are big enough.

  === Installation and booting over the network via PXE ===
  
  For this installation method it is required that you have a running main server.
- When clients boot via the main network, a new PXE menu with installer and boot selection options is displayed. If PXE installation fails with an error message claiming a XXX.bin file is missing, then most probably the client's network card requires nonfree firmware. In this case the Debian Installer's initrd must be modified. This can be achieved by executing the command:
