This is where my problem starts. 
When I exit root and try to use nano, I get this error message.


nano: Command not found.

and since I am using tcsh shell I made a file called .cshrc and added

setenv EDITOR/usr/local/bin/./nano  ( which didn't work )

What about putting a link in /usr/bin to your Nano executable? I don't 
run Suse, but that's what Debian does. It's odd that they would put Nano 
in /usr/local/bin, as that usually isn't in the path. Try man ln. 
Frankly, I find it easier to do links with Midnight Commander, sometimes 
called mc.

Not sure if you're pasting in some corrupted text but shouldn't there be a 
space between 'EDITOR' and '/usr'?  Also, you may find it easier to set 
your PATH to include /usr/local/bin.

[LUAU] HOSEF 51, Landfill 0 - Clonezilla announced the Winner

2007-10-16 Thread R. Scott Belford
Sunday's intstallfest, so to speak, was pretty impressive thanks to some 
great FOSS tools.  Consequently, 50 Elementary students in Isabela(1) 
will soon be learning and creating with donated computers from Hawaii. 
Pictures were taken, and they will be posted to the website soon.


Over the course of the day a garage was transformed into a computer 
workshop.  A driveway was transformed into a loading and shipping zone. 
 With computers from JALPAK Hawaii(2), boxing labor from the the group 
sponsoring the shipment(3), and a little HOSEF magic, it all worked out.


We pxe booted Clonezilla(4) from DRBL(5) to image the workstations.  It 
took about 5 minutes per computer to install a complete desktop 
operating system with education applications, an office suite, 
creativity tools, and more.  We imaged them in batches of 7, but we 
could have done all 50 at once if we had the space.  Seriously. We 
installed Edubuntu.(6)


In the past people like Time Newsham have labored pretty tirelessly to 
help with a mass install using Systemimager.  It never really worked 
well with GRUB due to the limitations of the application.  Vince 
appropriately described it as a glorified rsync system.  Nonetheless, 
those computers were completed and flown by the Air Force to an 
orphanage and women's shelter run through BYU in Cambodia.


In refurbishing and donating computers back when we did stuff at 
McKinley, we would install them by hand (using a CD) one by one.  It 
created good learning opportunities, but it was not conducive to JIT 
management.  Now we can JIT the you know what out of a pretty fair 
number of computers.


Sometimes we sounds a bit misleading.  Those of you who have come 
around for a while know that I have had a pet frog for years, and that 
the two of us combine to be we pretty often.  In the case of Sunday, 
it was Roland (a real person) and myself.  That's all, and that was plenty.


If you ever decide to come around, don't worry that you will be 
intruding on some intricate process.  I have, however, refined our 
ability to transform a previously discarded computer into a fully 
functional workstation within 20 minutes.  The more of you who I can 
encourage to become part of the we(7), the more computers we can save.

(3) Hawaii has a sister relationship with the Province of Isabela and 
Governor Grace Padaca.  Many first generation Filipino families sponsor 
the shipment of these computers.  This project was part of The Task 
Force Aloha Isabela - Hawaii Sisterhood.

(7) HOSEF needs your help organizing our many volunteer related tasks. 
If you want to help in some non-technical way, I sure need you.  I am 
quite behind in responding to many volunteer requests.

Aloha

You are invited to HOSEF's monthly Open Source Pizza where you, the 
audience, become the presenter.  Don't be afraid, you won't be alone, 
and there will be others bold enough to get started.  Rather than 
telling you what is and is not good and bad about Free and Open Source 
Software, you can ask.  Perhaps you have the best answer.  It will be 
fun, so please join us.


Time: 6:00 to 8:30

Date: October 16, 2007

Location: Marine Sciences Auditorium, The University of Hawaii

If you want Pizza, $8, otherwise it is Free

For directions, go to

http://www.hawaii.edu/campusmap/

and click on Marine Science [E4]

For parking, just let the attendant know that you are there for the 
monthly pizza meeting.

It should be known that the current HOSEF demonstration and imaging box 
is using this motherboard donated by Peter.  The case is some big steel 
case donated to us a few years back by somebody.  The power supply came 
from a box fried by the earthquake.  The hard drive came from Sandy and 
Dusty before they moved on to another city.  Combined with some sweat, 
software, and ethernet, this ewaste became somebody's future.  This is 
how HOSEF rolls.

It sounds lovely and undoubtedly looks fashionable.
