  • document fai basics better
  • implement backup script, ~/olpc/olpc-user-data-backup/ has the backup script from the list...
  • live-installer (was: livecd)
    • setup cronjob, to build livecd daily
      • compare against previous package list
      • put live-xs.ks in git and compare if it has changed
      • run cronjob every hour to trigger build
      • configure apache to sort that directory after modification date
    • run another cronjob every minute to see if build has been triggered manually
    • waiting for fixed anaconda (breaks with kickstart file)
    • shortcut system-configuration
    • run fai

      • "copy" packages from fai to livecd.ks
      • keyboard-settings via COUNTRY.var: Argentina Brazil Libya Nigeria Uruguay Rwanda
      • install kernel,postfix,ntpd,squid,mpp, apache, dyndns (at least for now) with fai and livecd

open questions/remarks

  • http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Trial1_Server_Image - looks outdated
  • how to define classes for a host? map mac-addresses to machines to classes? -> file in /etc
  • livecd-creator has the following in its config file: rm -rf /usr/share/doc/* - thats not soo good ;)
  • The liveinst bits are included in anaconda since anaconda-11.2.0.39-1. So liveinst packagae is not needed anymore.
partitioning proposal
20gb for /
5gb for /tmp, maybe 10
5gb for /var/log, maybe 10
10gb for /var
260 for /home (or 250) or diving this into /home and /$path/backup
