Yes, create a udeb. The line 'XB-Installer-Menu-Item: 39' in debian/control [1] will cause to run before "disk preparation" which has menu-items 40 up to 50. Put the content of your script in debian/postinst. Keep the preseeding you allready have.

Ok here is what I did.
I wrote the following script (thanks Free Ekanayaka for your sources):
#!/bin/sh
set -e
#
# Choice of the right partman-recipe
#
# Partition that will be mounted on /home
HOME=/dev/discs/disc0/part6
# Where to mount the partition
MNT=/tmp/mnt
# Path of the partman-recipe
RECIPE=/tmp/partman-recipe
RECIPE_KEEP=/cdrom/wedux-extra/partman-recipe-keep
RECIPE_FORMAT=/cdrom/wedux-extra/partman-recipe-format
depmod
modprobe jbd
modprobe ext3
mkdir -p $MNT
if mount $HOME $MNT; then
cp $RECIPE_KEEP $RECIPE
umount $MNT
else
cp $RECIPE_FORMAT $RECIPE
fi
I tried using a preseed file that contains the following fields:
d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe_file string /tmp/partman-recipe
d-i preseed/early_command string sh
/cdrom/wedux-extra/partman-auto-recipe.sh (the script above)
Unfortunately, this doesn't work. The early-command is run too early, and
the modules ext3 and jbd fail to load.
So do you think there is a way to run this script right before partman
starts (so using preseeding only) or do I have to create a udeb ?
Thanks a lot for your answers.

[Preach-mode on] This is what a painting program is for. Not a writing tool. At schools we teach children to write. Yet nobody teaches them how to write a decent document. Hint: when you want to write a header you mark it as such. You don't simply enlarge font and use bold/underline. Not to mention the horrible MS-WordArt that is not even part of the standard text flow. Think of a document that could be understood by a blind reader. Or compoter. You should mark important parts as such. Not paint them. A computer is a tool for teaching in this context. It should not be a tool for "getting the children used to the tool". At least not when the two conflict. [Preach-mode off] Anyway: is abiword good enough? (kword seems to basically require much of the KDE infrastructure to work well. It should be interesting to test how it works without it). -- Tzafrir Cohen sip:tzafrir@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx icq#16849755 iax:tzafrir@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx +972-50-7952406 tzafrir.cohen@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.xorcom.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-custom-REQUEST@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with a subject of "unsubscribe".

(I'm not subscribed to -custom.....yet) > - What do you think about this suggestions? I think that your initiative was excellent, Knut.. ;-) The whole concept of OLPC perfectly fits my personal views on what Free Software can do for a better world and I'm pretty sure that these views are widely shared among Debian and even more in the Debian "derivatives" contributors. Jim Getty's BOF has been for me one of the most instructive ones at Debconf and I wasn't there by hazard.... > > - Who are interested to develop tailored Debian Edu for > OLPC-machines? I think that at least the D-I (D-I==Debian Installer for people outside Debian) team should have some of its members getting a close attention on that OLPC project and, given that we find someone interested, one member of the D-I team should get the specific job of being responsible for all actions/changes/developments done for the installer to properly run on OLPC hardware. In short, on "OLPC person" in the D-I team.... If noone else volunteers, I'd be happy to do this.

Redrejo Rodríguez: > At LinEx we have interest in this project, next Friday I'll have a > meeting with Jim Getty and will get more information to know if it > makes sense for us to work on it. One of the interesting things about the OLPC is that it will be deployed from the pupils from the first day, and they will relay heavily on kids learning from each other. The "Hole in the wall" experiments lead by Sugata Mitra shows that this really will help kids getting better in English and math. The kids get more social and cooperative, and more interested in school. - News article: http://www.egovmonitor.com/node/5865 - Scientific articels: http://www.hole-in-the-wall.com/docs/Paper06.pdf http://www.hole-in-the-wall.com/Publications.html One of the challenges is to make the desktop as easy accessible as possible for pupils that cant read at all, and making the desktop "grow" when the pupils are getting older. On the technical part is quite a challenge, because it's gonna be suited for learning. Things has to be light weight and in the same instance be easy to use. I found this web page discussing memory usage: http://kegel.com/linux/comfort/ There is no memory that could handle OpenOffice.org on the OLPC-machine. Interestingly this is an advantages in lower grades. OpenOffice.org are made for bureaucratic work, and are suitable for headmasters and the office workers at the schools. It's not a learning tool made for teaching when the kids are 6-7 or 9 years old. They really hate that application. A simple and easy to use text tool with cool fonts and drawing capability is more in line for teaching purposes when using computers for pupils in their four fist years at school. Is also a factor that the length of the education in developing countries is often not more than 5-6 years, if the kids are lucky. At GUADEC 2004 a person from the Telecentros project in Brazil told that the kids really didn't get any school at all. It was no schools, and it was no teachers. So the effort on choosing good applications for learning is a difficult and probably the most important part of the OLPC project. The technical things are doable. Our experience as engineers says that. But to understanding the usability environment for lower graduates, it still science, as the the "Hole in the wall" experiments shows. > I think we could collaborate in points 1 & 4, as we have experience > in working with installers, and we have begun the project > Futura[1][2] thinking in the obsolescence of the computers we have > at our schools.

As you probably know I'm starting at Trolltech as a Community Manager in August. A lot for my work will be in contact whit the universities and university colleges to get students working with free software as part of their education. 14 student projects has contributed to the Skolelinux project since 2002. Professional engineers from the industry has contributed as external "customers" for the students. I believe subsystem in the OLPC is a excellent to make students both making something useful, and to get them to know free software. http://d.skolelinux.no/info/studentgrupper/index.html.en Anyway: I think we should we coordinate our effort on the debian-edu list and debian-custom list. :) Thanks Knut Yrvin

From: Knut Yrvin <knuty@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
First of all I'm sorry to cross-post this request. But I need urgent reply to know if somebody wants to team up in a project making Debian ready for the One Laptop per Child hardware. If there is somebody interested applying for OLPC developer board to make things work, please reply to debian-custom@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx My project proposal: After a tip from Walter Bender at MIT, I was subscribing to the devel-boards list for the One Laptop per Child project. Walter is president, software and content, of the One Laptop per Child foundation. My subscription was forwarded to the list moderator for approval. Then i got a nice e-mail from Jim Gettys. He wrote that if my interest in the list is to get a developer's board, then please follow the following instructions (look at the bootom): http://wiki.laptop.org/index.php/Developers_Program This will result in a developer's board if the request is at all reasonable, and you will be added to the mailing list (which is meant to be low volume announcements for people with boards). I wrote some suggestions for a plan to get the OLPC-machine up running April 5th 2006: http://lists.debian.org/debian-edu/2006/04/msg00016.html So people, I could apply for boards to realize this plan. (The plan is not at all finale, but a suggestion): 1. To make the Debian installer work with OLPC-machines 2. To make bare bone Debian run with network connectivety in a mesh network (IPv6) 3. Make the power management work 4. To make X and a window manager with simplified debloated desktop But with no developers interested doing the development, I see no reason for applying for boards. So it depends on what the Debian Edu and Debian contributers are interested in. It's a considerable job tailoring the different subsystem in Debian to OLPC hardware. The installer has to be tailored, the network mesh net support has to work, simplified debloated desktop has to be configured, and the power management has to work. We have done interesting things with Custom Debian Distributions and Debian Installer in the Skolelinux / Debian Edu environment before. It seems to me that more people have joined the Skolelinux / Debian Edu project. I believe the One Laptop per Child is important for Debian, and we should do this development. - What do you think about this suggestions? - Who are interested to develop tailored Debian Edu for OLPC-machines?

A pitty that the context was deleted.
Please reply below the text (and keep the relevant text ;-)
> Really no way to do this without modifying d-i ?
Yes. Chance your mind(setting) and replace modify back to implement.
Do the implementation of
IF the /home partition has already been created before
use recipe "Don't format it"
ELSE
use recipe "Create it, Format it"
in "preseeding"
( http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.powerpc/apbs05.html )

Thank you for confirm that we are talk about d-i.
Looking forward to see the follow-up

Implement in debian-installer program code that can do
IF the /home partition has already been created before
use recipe "Don't format it"
ELSE
use recipe "Create it, Format it"
> Thanks a lot for your help.
Yes, I do hope that telling
"it can't be done in one single recipe"
did help and that my assumption that we are talking about 'd-i'

Hello,
I am trying to do a partman recipe that makes:
a / partition of 1 Gb
a swap partition of 2 times the system ram
a /home partition that is the rest of the hdd
I would like to do the following algorithm:
IF the /home partition has already been created before
Don't format it
ELSE
Create it
Format it
I tried using the method{ keep } option for partman recipes but it gives me
an error if the partition has not already been created before (if the hard
drive only has unformatted space for example).
Any idea how to do that ?
Thanks a lot for your help.
