Finally prepared the offline repo for the Install Fest at Kalyani Govt. College

[Ratnadeep Debnath]

Hello,
Finally I have prepared an offline Fedora 10 repo ( though not
complete), which is ready to install all the basic audio, video, image
softwares, audio-video codecs, KDE 4.2 update, KdeEdu, VirtualBox,
Kernel 2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.i686, nvidia drivers, etc. I
successfully installed updates in my system and another system of my
friend offline via an FTP server. I have also prepared a kickstart
file to automate Fedora 10 installation.
Hope this all works fine and smoothly during the day of the Install
Fest in Kalyani Govt. College.

Please ensure it is explained during the fest, why codecs and nvidia
drivers are not there in fedora by default .

Won't it be better to let them learn the "manual" way?

I was thinking that since we are installing using DVDs, so we can simply
keep demonstrating them on projector how to follow the steps and create
partitions instead of using the kickstart method since we are not installing
on one machine at a time. Kickstart works well for standalone installations
but not in situations like install fest.. We will have enough experienced
people out there to help anyone facing a problem with the manual way.
Though the offline repo is a job well done by Ratnadeep.

hi,

I was making one myself.. I have an install fest on 23rd of March where
we intend to install the latest unity release and codecs etc from a
local repo.

Can you please enumerate the steps you tool to make the repo? I'll cross
check.. 

Is it on a dvd/cd ?

regards,

Ankur
