Re: [Server-devel] XS on Netbook
Sameer, I have tried to install the XS on a Dell Laptop (not netbook). It runs great, but the wireless indicator is not on. Could there be missing drivers? If so, what can I do? Thanks.

The big issue is that there is no optical drive, but beyond that I was wondering if that would work. Thanks.

This thing has a 933 MHz Crusoe processor, with 384 MB RAM. It doesn't complain for small set of XOs. Now that you've brought it up, I will try a netbook as well. cheers, Sameer -- Dr. Sameer Verma, Ph.D. Associate Professor, Information Systems Director, Center for Business Solutions San Francisco State University http://verma.sfsu.edu/ http://cbs.sfsu.edu/ http://is.sfsu.edu/ ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
[Server-devel] Nepal XS customizations
Here are the customizations we're making on top of XS-0.6 here in Nepal. This version will start being distributed to the field on Monday. Kickstart file modifications: - no GUI, just use text mode - auto reboot at the end of installation - no interactivity during installation - timezone and root password hardcoded - packages added: dansguardian, dependencies for nepal's E-library system (www.pustakalaya.org) e.g. mysql, some php modules, ImageMagick, java - added a nepal-specific nexs-custom customization package, and a script from that package to run on firstboot (details below) - nepal-specific XS build number written to /etc/motd and /etc/issue Build scripts including the customization file can be found at http://hg.olenepal.org/NEXS-image-builder/ The customizations from nexs-custom: - udev rules to make sure that onboard LAN is eth1, and USB ethernet adapter (for WAN) is eth0 - apache configs to set up aliases for our various content components and E-library - mysql config file to enable storage in /library and 1-file-per-table innodb setting - a script to simplify eth0 configuration - a self test system (details below) - various usbmount scripts to enable automatic content installation from USB The firstboot script from nexs-custom: - configure and enable dansguardian - setup admin user account, with a predetermined SSH public key and password - configure and enable mysql - enable moodle admin account and set a predetermined password - beep and print some instructions to the screen Notes on self test: - 32 tests performed, to check that: hostname has been set, both ethernet interfaces present, all the regular XS services running, Nepal content has been installed - it runs on every boot, logging the test results and info into /var/log (max 500 logs kept) - it can also be run from a usbmount script which is triggered by a file named nexs-run-self-test on the USB disk. In this mode it will use aural beep codes to indicate test success and failure, in addition to logging the test results and info back to the USB disk. nexs-custom code is found at http://hg.olenepal.org/NEXS_scripts/ The content that we add: - Fedora Commons (www.fedora.info) and Fez frontend, and huge content collection -- a clone of pustakalaya.org - a clone of http://en.wiktionary.org - an English definition dictionary - a clone of www.nepalisabdakos.com - a Nepali definition dictionary - wikipedia for schools (http://schools-wikipedia.org/) - latest full version of OLE Nepal's huge educational content activity, including the whole years worth of lessons (this is also present on the XOs but only for a certain time period at a time -- the overall activity is split into 6 different XO activities which are distributed at different times through the year, the full version is too big to store on XO) - some world maps, an atlas, and educational videos some scripts we use for supporting the above content installation can be found at http://hg.olenepal.org/NEXC-maint/ Daniel ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
