  === USB drive ISO image for i386 and amd64 ===
  
- The multi-architecture ISO image is 5.5 GiB large and can be used for installation of amd64 and i386 machines. Like the netinstall image it can be installed on USB flash drives or disk media of sufficient size. Please note that internet access during installation is needed if the 'LTSP Server' profile is chosen. Like the others it can be downloaded over FTP, HTTP or rsync via:

  Remember the [[http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Stretch/Requirements|system requirements]] and make sure you have at least two network cards (NICs) if you plan on setting up an LTSP server.

   * Choose profile(s) from the following list:
    * '''Main Server'''
     This is the main server (tjener) for your school providing all services pre-configured to work out of the box. You must only install one main server per school!  This profile does not include a graphical user interface. If you want a graphical user interface, then select Workstation or LTSP Server in addition to this one.

    * '''Roaming workstation'''
     Same as workstation but capable of authentication using cached credentials, meaning it can be used outside the school network. The users' files and profiles are stored on the local disk. For single user notebooks and laptops this profile should be selected and not 'Workstation' or 'Standalone' as suggested in earlier releases.
    * '''LTSP Server'''
-    A thin client (and diskless workstation) server, is called an LTSP server. Clients without hard drives boot and run software from this server. This computer needs two network cards, a lot of memory, and ideally more than one processor or core. See the chapter about [[DebianEdu/Documentation/Stretch/HowTo/NetworkClients|networked clients]] for more information on this subject. Choosing this profile also enables the workstation profile (even if it is not selected) - an LTSP server can always be used as a workstation, too.

    * '''Standalone'''
     An ordinary computer that can function without a main server (that is, it doesn't need to be on the network). Includes laptops.
    * '''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/Stretch/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 usefull 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.

  A netinst installation (which is the type of installation our CD provides) will fetch some packages from the CD and the rest from the net. The amount of packages fetched from the net varies from profile to profile but stays below a gigabyte (unless you choose to install all possible desktops). Once you have installed the main-server (whether a pure main-server or combi-server does not matter), further installation will use its proxy to avoid downloading the same package several times from the net.

  Providing the kernel boot parameter {{{edu-skip-ltsp-make-client}}} makes it possible to skip one step which converts the LTSP chroot from a thin-client chroot into a combined thin-client/diskless workstation chroot.
