Good Day, I recently installed an XS server(OLPC-School-Server-0.6-i386.iso) and as I was trying to do an update I got the error "repomod not found" I thought it was the proxy but when I tried to access the site at home iam was still unable to access the http://fedora.laptop.org/ site. It seems to be down.
The issue is that iam trying to install the following 1) OpenVPN 2)Munin 3)IP Traf Do you know where I can get these packages without doing the yum install openvpn and so forth? If so is there an easy way to install them; especially openvpn.

This is a real PITA if you want to use a ad-hoc network with a dhcp server to handle the ip address assignment, and thus the routing to the gateway. This should be better with NM-9 and sugar 95.2 but I haven't tried yet. > So, I guess it depends on what you mean by 'using an XO as a > lightweight XS server', and whether you will install your own O/S and > a subset of the existing XS code on the 1.75, pretty much like you > would have too to on the1.5 to get it to act like a real AP and router > and server.
