*******Setup a Computer Lab within 30 minutes from a single 
CD********

Looking for volunteers to test it

The GLUE CD, a collection of some educational software and 
documentation, now has pre-configured GNU/Linux System on it. As 
earlier you can browse the CD but now you can boot from it and 
Install a GNU/Linux system from it within 30 minutes. If there 
are no other systems required on the same harddisk, the process 
is fully automated.

Otherwise you can make partitions manually and install. Those who 
have valuable data on disk cannot go for the first option

On reboot you get a RedHat7.3 installation with OpenOffice, 
Compilers for different languages and other programs. A Terminal 
Server also is installed and configured, ie. It can support 
disk-less terminals if you have a network card. Floppy Boot files 
and ROM imaes for diskless PCs are also included with a lot of 
documentation.

If anybody interested in testing it and give feedback, send me 
your postal address so that a CD can be send to you.

Please forward to other related mailing lists.

With regards

Ajith
