[Server-devel] XO/XS Networking Issues
I am currently in Haiti working to set up a school server in a partner school that has ~20 XO's. We have XS running on a Fit-PC2 and are able to connect to the School Server from our test XO. Our ideal next step is providing internet connectivity to the XO's through the server. To accomplish this, we hope to utilize a Natcom 3G card connected to one of the USB ports. It seems like all we need to do is install wvdial, but I'm getting a Couldn't resolve host 'mirrorlist.centos.org' error. I currently have no other way to connect the server to the internet (there is wifi at our hotel, but I'm not sure how to connect the XS or even if I can?). I'm sure this is an easy fix, I just don't know what commands I need and am having trouble finding them in the XS documentation on laptop.org. Thank you to anyone who can help out! (PS: I leave the country Monday morning x-apple-data-detectors://1 to return to the states, so the faster I hear back, the better!) -Katelyn Doran Sent from my iPad ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel

You have a chicken-and-egg problem there. Maybe you can download the rpms you need from another computer? m On Sat, Mar 17, 2012 at 8:16 AM, Shaun Pickford shaun.pickf...@gmail.com wrote: I am currently in Haiti working to set up a school server in a partner school that has ~20 XO's.
