All, Great fun in a sort-of install fest!
VJTI's Computer Lab in the mechanical engineering department is the centre for NRCFOSS's (http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/full/26/NW/) FOSS activities. The members of GNU/Linux User Group of Mumbai volunteered to setup Ubuntu Linux on 30 computers in the lab. The server runs, Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 (Etch). The installation method that we followed was this. Windows XP (on most machines) were allocated 40 GB out of 80 GB of hdd on the primary partition. The Extended partition were divided into four logical partitions of 10 GB each. We deleted the four logical partitions and created 1. / (root) 2. /boot 3. swap partitions, since, the requirement was to have a central storage place (such as on one on the server) and students could access their data from any computer with a specific login. (My college lab has this setup in Windows 2003 server and WinXP as clients). That's it. It was great to be a participant of such an event. However, since we were short of Ubuntu 7.04 CDs and time, we installed 6.06 on some computers, and Kubuntu 6.06 on some computers. -- FSF of India Associate Fellow - http://www.gnu.org.in S K Somaiya College of ASC- http://www.somaiya.edu/sksasc ubunturos @ freenode Did you know?
