Anthony, Can we get some assistance with RPM creation for the Mahara\Moodle team? Lars, considering the information regarding the social networking part of Mahara, do you think we should disable Elgg for now. IF we can get help, I think concentrating on Mahara would prove more usable.

[opensuse-edu] KIWI-LTSP live USB stick server is ready for testing
by Jigish Gohil 01 Jun '09

Hello Community As promised, the KIWI-LTSP, LTSP5 on openSUSE using KIWI imaging technology is now also available for deployment on USB stick. Live DVD[1] has been available for some time now. Get openSUSE-KIWI-LTSP-lite-liveUSB-unstable.i686-XXXX-BuildXXX.raw.bz2 from here: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Education/images/ The image contains the latest stable GNOME, iTalc and fully pre-configured LTSP. Here is how to deploy it on USB stick: #extract the bz2 file bzip2 -d -k openSUSE-Sugar-liveUSB-unstable.i686-0.0.1-Build11.1.raw.bz2 #dump it on the USB stick dd if=openSUSE-Sugar-liveUSB-unstable.i686-0.0.1-Build11.1.raw of=/dev/sdX bs=4k Run "fdisk -l" to find out what the USB stick device is, in my case it was /dev/sdd, note that dd is to /dev/sdd not /dev/sdd1. That is all that is required, boot the PC/laptop from the USB stick. As always, feedback, suggestions, bugs[2] most welcome.
