I will have made a testbed of babelbox at Solutions Linux in Paris (Jan 31st-Feb 2nd). Recent news are: the thing now works as of yesterday and has good chances to be quite attractive to the eye, especially if you can manage to have it display on a large screen of with a projector. Please note that babelbox needs another machine to run. The other machine will host the DHCP/TFTP/WWW server needed for the installation process (it uses a netboot ISO). I recommend setting up a dedicated network between both machines, if possible a 1GB network. The 2006 babelbox runs with the graphical version of the installer so it's a bit fancier than 2005 babelbox...:-) Of course, I'll made the material available on my home page on gluck as soon as it'll be ready. These are basically two tar files and one conf file: one tar for /var/lib/tftpboot, one for /var/www and a dhcpd.conf. I do not use the sounds anymore: this has proven a false good idea as noone hears them and it really complicates the setup (getting an out-of-the-box working sound on Debian is.....ahem...tricky)..:-) Last year, the babelbox installed a full desktop system, then opened the GDM session automatically, left it opened for a few minutes before rebooting in another language install. I'm not sure I will reconduct this this year. This complicated the setup quite a lot and installing a full desktop system is quite long, even with a 1GB connection. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
