Greetings,
I just finished loading my new replacement server with the latest
build. The following are "issues" if you want to regard them as such,
that I think still need to be addressed. I didn't see them documented,
but I know this is not a 'final' also.
1. Suse Education Add-On repository is missing. The Update
repository is ok. The base EDU patterns are missing from Yasts
Software Management even though it appears to be install. It isn't
functional :)
2. After correcting this, and the Education Patterns installed, the
Kids Desktop Software and Youth Education Software Patterns were
selected, but none of the others.
3. I had to select LTSP Server Apps (TFTP installed, but not
configurable and Xinetd service disabled which made it non-functional)
4. Prior to selecting the Add on, DNS and DHCP installed, but none of
the configuration tools installed. These became selected after I
selected the remaining options.
All in all, great job! The Live DVD works great. The installation
portion still has some things missing, but I couldn't locate the
bugzilla or build docs to figure what might have been left out or
remaining. Hence this additional information. Forgive me if this is
already known :) I'm not complaining (honest!)
I am documenting the current installation and configuration details as
they are being done here:
http://wiki.freelinuxpc.org/index.php?title=Sterling_Community_Center
This is somewhat buried in the site, and I am interested in any and
all feedback regarding it. Once I finish this documentation, it is
going to have to undergo a serious 'dumbing down' in order to meet the
goal of a non-technical person being able to follow the directions to
build a 'Community Technological Center'.
With regard to the http://www.linux-for-education.org/ site, I am
still working on uploads, but got sick for a few days, then had to
spend a few more days playing catchup with my schoolwork, and now my
summer 'break' is on, finishing the buildup of a new server and 4 more
terminals for the Sterling Community Center where I am the system
admin (non-paid volunteer like this :)) So don't give up on me there.
I should be back and finish uploading the Study Skills and Technology
sections from the source site with in the week. Just a matter of
getting this system online and doing three term papers over the next
week :) Oh, and keeping my wife happy :) That is number 1.
