Have them build their own distro. http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/ Starting students learning the basics is important. If you don't know what is happening when you make that selection in the gui, you'll be limited to that tool. Understand what the instructions are doing. Read the boot scripts. Follow the startup from grub to the boot prompt. Understand the configuration files. Use a text editor. We teach kids to read before we ask them to write. Do the same for scripts. Compare LFS with Debian, RH, and Ubuntu. -- Bruce _______________________________________________ lpi-examdev mailing list [email protected] http://list.lpi.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lpi-examdev
