<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>I guess the first comment would be that people who don't have problems tend not to write to these lists.<BR> <BR>It also makes a difference how much you have to do to get ready to install the server, are you starting with a machine that already has a working version of Fedora 18, such as an XO 4, or do you need to install everything from scratch.<BR> <BR>Our problems in Haiti started when the brand new, already installed and configured machine that we took there would not even boot after its ride in the airplane. A member of our team had to perform unnatural acts to get it to work. We literally started from scratch, even taking out the cpu chip and putting it back in.<BR> <BR>This is not the normal situation, but it does make the point to get things working as well as you can before you take a machine to a place where power and networking are not as reliable as you may be used to.<BR> <BR>In any event, you may take solace in the fact that it's probably easier than using BlackBoard :)<br> <BR><div>> From: Joanne.Clemente@dc.edu<br>> To: tim@timmoody.com; xsce-devel@googlegroups.com; tkkang@nurturingasia.com; server-devel@lists.laptop.org<br>> Date: Sat, 26 Apr 2014 18:01:56 -0400<br>> Subject: RE: [Server-devel] [XSCE] XSCE usage analysis: Malaysia Deployment<br>> <br>> I signed up for this listserv because I thought it would be a good idea to use a server and Internet in a Box for deployments of XOs in Uganda. I am not a techie and these emails are scaring me to death. Is it advisable for a novice to try a server in a school that has XOs or should I just stick to using lone computers?<br>> Joanne<br>> Joanne Clemente, Ed.D.<br>> Director of Online Learning<br>> Center for Adult Student Education<br>> Blackboard Administrator<br>> Dominican College<br>> Orangeburg, NY<br>> 845.848.4017 work<br>> 914.260.6237 cell<br>> ________________________________________<br>> From: server-devel-bounces@lists.laptop.org [server-devel-bounces@lists.laptop.org] On Behalf Of Tim Moody [tim@timmoody.com]<br>> Sent: Saturday, April 26, 2014 12:41 PM<br>> To: xsce-devel@googlegroups.com; xsce-devel@googlegroups.com; tkkang@nurturingasia.com; Server-Devel@Lists.

I always do a minimal Linux install which just creates boot, swap, and all remaining disk on root. The alternate is the original xs partition scheme with a small root and everything else in library. Of course your solution will work too.<br>> <br>> Sent from my BlackBerry® PlayBook™<br>> www.blackberry.com<br>> <br>> ________________________________<br>> From: "" <tkkang@nurturingasia.com><br>> To: "Tim Moody" <tim@timmoody.com>, "xsce-devel@googlegroups.com" <xsce-devel@googlegroups.com>, "tkkang@nurturingasia.com" <tkkang@nurturingasia.com>, "Server-Devel@Lists.

K.,<br>> <br>> Here's a detailed explanation of what happened that day.<br>> <br>> We found that the /library/cache/swap.state is sized 47G, which occupies the whole partition of /. I know by default during the installation the fedora will part the whole harddisk into two parts, for root (/) 50G, and for /home the remaining. However, in XSCE's setting, the main content is put into /library which belongs to / partition.<br>> <br>> The reason why swap.state is so large is unknow. However, we removed the file and restart the squid service, it becomes normal now.<br>> <br>> To prevent future event from happening, we also _bind_ mount the /library/cache to home directory.<br>> <br>> Best regards,<br>> Weida<br>> >-----Original Message-----<br>> >From: Tim Moody [mailto:tim@timmoody.com]<br>> >Sent: Thursday, April 24, 2014 01:10 PM<br>> >To: xsce-devel@googlegroups.com, tkkang@nurturingasia.com,<br>> >Server-Devel@Lists.
