They're looking for volunteers to create a Linux distribution CD and a brief step by step process. Their current process is: 1. Receive a machine 2. See if it powers on and boots a. If so, see if the network card works b. If not and the machine does not have a hard drive (often a donated corporate machine), they install a hard drive, install Windows XP, and check out the machine 3. Reformat the hard drive. Once the machines get to Africa, a French language version of the OS is installed This is their most time consuming task. They would like to: 1. Have a Linux distribution on a bootable CD 2. Have a short written script so volunteers can execute the process (They can help write the script with some direction from Linux experts) 3. Validate the NIC 4. Reformat the hard drive Michael Zierdt from Wings for West Africa has time available and says he can travel anywhere to support this. He has 3 donated PCs, mice, keyboards, and a CRT monitor for testing. A flyer describing Wings for West Africa is available [2] although it is aimed at donation drives.
