* School Server - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/School_server

* ''' Marathi Localization Steps :- '''

1] Format pen drive and rename pen drive to OLPC
2] Copy all info, linfo & script files to pendrive
(http://wiki.laptop.org/images/6/6c/XO-Marathi-localizaton.zip)
3] copy Marathi.sh & mr_lang_pack.sh from pen drive to XO
4] Run mr_lang_pack.sh script
5] Run Marathi.sh Script
6] Now go to #Home/olpc directory
7] Now edit file .i18n & replace LANG=”en_IN.UTF-8”
With LANG=”mr_IN.UTF-8”
8] Restart Sugar

Now you should have running SUGAR with Marathi support.

(Etoys still need to get localized in Marathi language)
