For specific manual pages one might reinstall the RPM involved, but a general capture of the whole documentation tree isn't available. An idea I had was to build an RPM of the documentation being deleted during the build, and providing this for download. I've not investigated how to do that.

Thank you
Removing the man and info pages is an obvious and necessary step to keep within
the
tight space limits of the XO.In a not too urgent future .. I would like to
see the rm become a mv so they can be captured and packaged for
something like a school server or slurped into some laptop.org web location
for reference by teachers, users and those doing community support.
Is this worth a low priority tracking ticket or some such...?
Regards,
mitch

[Server-devel] Static Ip settings
I am a little new to Linux at this level, please can the list advise me regarding changing the network settings for static IP. I'm also not a wizard on general networking. I am in the field in the Solomon Islands, in the middle of single-class deployments in 3 primary schools. I have a demo XS on a laptop with a prototype AA. It works great and adds a really useful dimension for the teachers and education officials, not to mention the teachers and students. I have loaded it with a variety of demo contents in different formats, within a simple html framework. In a couple of weeks we will be delivering servers for each school and starting to work on content from the curriculum dept and other sources. However, the immediate task at the current school is to connect the XS to a VSAT that the school has been enjoying here, a pilot one as part of a regional program called Pacific Rural Internet Connectivity System (RICS). The modem does not have DHCP, and I have no broadband router with me and want to get it working on static IP so I can demo the Internet access for XOs via the XS. The VSAT is on network is 202.0.158.96/29 Gateway = 202.0.158.97 Usable IPs 202.0.158.99 - 202.0.158.103 I have changed the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eh0 to DEVICE=eth0 ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=202.0.158.99 NETWORK=202.0.158.96 NETMASK=202.0.158.248 GATEWAY=202.0.158.97 And added the DNS to the /etc/resolv.conf file nameserver = (IP of the DNS servers out on the Internet) I can ping the IP addr i.e. 202.0.158.99 but any other address replies Destination host unreachable arp gives 202.0.158.97 (incomplete) Ifconfig eth0 looks OK, it has found the hardware address and shows Broadcast up (but not running) What more can I do to diagnose?
