> Wings for West Africa [1] is seeking volunteers for a Linux project.
> 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.
