Hi.

Kverbos for Spanish verbs is useless. If anyone out there cares please reply and let me know how to load the standard verb file. I'm a bit shocked that Edbuntu has software in the menu that is useless.


I'm unable to add other dictionaries to open office. This is more of a bug with open office. But I'm shocked at how few websites have step by step documentation. If I have an English Edbuntu machine how can I add the Spanish dictionaries? Step by step help is much better than telling me to go to some website and RTM, as there is no clear documentation for dictionaries that I can find.


Is there linux clone software that does not add any software to the client? If I were to install xubuntu on one 300mhz P2 lab computer I would like to copy that hard drive to 29 identical hardware computers. On both Mac and Windows there is software at a reasonable price or free that will let me boot from a CD or Floppy and then clone the GMC to an image on a network. I can then go to another PC, boot from CD or floppy and restore that same image. Using DOS boot floppies and powerquest drive image I can clone my xubuntu lab. I would prefer to clone my xubuntu lab without another OS.

It looks like systemimager.org needs to have software on the client, and that means a slower client. It also means that on the target machine I must have a bootable hard drive with systemimager.org installed. I've read the documentation and here is what I understand.

so the steps are this:
- find your GMC computer and get it to the state you prefer
- install systemimager via apt-get install
- create the GMC image on a server
- take a 2nd computer and erase windows, install linux, install systemimager
- copy the GMC image to this 2nd computer
- reboot computer
- computer is now an image of the GMC


I guess my other question is this: Has anyone out there on this list actually used systemimager.org to clone a lab of 30 computers that don't have a working HD but where the HD is not bootable yet. I don't want advice from people who say it "works in theory".

It would be nice if the next version of Ubuntu and Edbuntu were self replicating. My idea: Simply use Ubuntu on your GMC computer and get it the way you like it. THen boot from the Ubuntu CD on another machine on the same lan and press copy. Bingo! Now you have 2 identical machines.


Thanks,  Joe
