No worries. I can't see a way to achieve what you need given all the constraints on the project you have identified. I think you'll need to find which constraints are the most damaging and work to remove them. Or it may be that the situation as described is too complex for me to model, and I'm n

Hi, Jerry That sounds promising. The 10GB was required to create the initial repositories (essentially download 2 Fedora DVDs). It sounds like you have created a 'minimum' repository needed to do the build. One approach we used in Nepal, server-side, was to take the image, unsquash, make the

Hi, Jerry I think the difference in approach is that you have a centralized organization supporting widely distributed deployments. In that case providing an image with the necessary customizations is probably much easier. For those of us supporting a stack of XOs in a room, it is very simpl

Part of the problem is legal. OLPC or Fedora can't distribute legally software to play mp3 without pay royalties. But in many countries in the world, the software patents are not applicable, then, maybe you can install the software without problem. In the XO-4, the payment is already done, then is
