> Wings for <st1:place w:st="on">West Africa</st1:place> [1] is seeking
volunteers for a Linux project.<br>
> They're looking for volunteers to create a Linux distribution CD and a<br>
> brief step by step process. <br>
> <br>
> Their current process is:<br>
> <br>
> 1. Receive a machine<br>
> 2. See if it powers on and boots<br>
> a. If so, see if the network card works<br>
> b. If not and the machine does not have a hard drive (often a<br>
> donated corporate machine), they install a hard drive, install<br>
> Windows XP, and check out the machine<br>
> 3. Reformat the hard drive. Once the machines get to <st1:place w:st="on">Africa</st1:place>,
a French<br>
> language version of the OS is installed<br>
> <br>
> <br>
> This is their most time consuming task.<br>
> <br>
> They would like to:<br>
> <br>
> 1. Have a Linux distribution on a bootable CD<br>
> 2. Have a short written script so volunteers can execute the process<br>
> (They can help write the script with some direction from Linux experts)<br>
> 3. Validate the NIC<br>
> 4. Reformat the hard drive<br>
> <br>
