[Server-devel] Server-devel Digest, Vol 129, Issue 9

[Tony Anderson]

What is the impact of this approach on internet dependence? The main 
problem I have is to create an offline
service with content. This has led to the creation of 'bernie', a copy 
of the schoolserver on an external 1TB drive.
There are, of course, many problems with dependencies. I view resolving 
these as the task in making bernie. I am
not sure what is meant about cross contamination. There are many 
duploicates in the current bernie - for example, Rachel
includes a sizable number of items from the Gutenberg project as does 
OLE Nepal's Pustakalaya. There is enough hard drive
space so this duplication is no problem.
