Re: [fedora-india] Fedora Indian Language remixes

Hello all, I have also worked on creating Fedora 8 and 9 local language distribution using kickstart files.I used them with Fedora DVD only, cause i was told that we don't have option of installing system using liveCD(pardon me if i am wrong,will try to confirm it on my personal account asap), and i was targeting installable media. I posted here earlier too related to problems i faced with kickstrat files and other things. But in the end i was successful in providing minimal features which were installed by default. I was targetting all the Indian languages available irrespective of there effort and percentage of translation.(Hindi, bengali, assamese, tamil, telgu, oriya, punjabi, malyalam, gujrati, marathi) Here is the list of packages i was targeting: - Gnome desktop environment. - OpenOffice. - Scribus. - GIMP. - scim with local language support(. - mozilla-firefox. - pidgin. Please don't take this list of packages as point of discussion, it was just my personal prefrence. So in case we can install using liveCD, and can have these packages in CD, i would be happy to volunteer for helping you out. As far as customization is concerned, i have used revisor, and am comfortable with kickstart files. I have never tried to create LiveCD's. Else will try to fit kickstart file in normal DVD's only and let you know of final status. In case you have some plan or suggestion's let me know. I am also available with nick 'baali' on #fedora-india channel. Regards Shantanu Choudhary

Who wants free DVD to distribute?
by susmit shannigrahi 02 Jan '09

02 Jan '09

Siddharth has already mailed about it. But only one reply came from Jaipur. So once again, 1. We have a few blank DVDs (~150) at our disposal. 2. If you are interested in taking up freemedia requests at your place, we shall send you some free blank dvds. 3. All you have to do is to burn the dvd and tell the person to collect it from you. 4. you have to be a Ambassador or LocalContact. Who is interested? I shall ship you the blank media. Please let me know your address along with your wiki page address. Thanks. -- Regards, Susmit. ============================================= ssh 0x86DD170A http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/user:susmit =============================================

Please suggest Improvements for this script (Mirror in a box.)
by susmit shannigrahi 30 Dec '08

30 Dec '08

Hi, I have been working a few days on this, though this was finished a few days ago... This is working nicely as far as I have tested, can you please suggest some improvements? The concept is also there. Basically the concept is you can have a whole fedora repo at an external HDD. You can just plug it into any machine of a LAN and run the script to have a working repo online (inside the LAN). So if you have a external drive (you will get the contents of the HDD online), please test it out. Just follow the instructions and after that open http://localhost/fedora to have the repository. The script is here http://susmit.fedorapeople.org/mirror/mirror_in_a_box_dec_30.sh -- Regards, Susmit. ============================================= ssh 0x86DD170A http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/user:susmit =============================================
