Hi,
I'm writing this mail because I would like to ask an advice. Many
times I read on our main mailing-list channels that many of our Fedora
users are restricted with bandwidth, and accessing media. It was
always mostly a pain in the neck to distribute media or enough
installer for events for many countries (India, Africa, and so on).
But If I would like to resurrect / do it otherwise the Fedora Live
Station - what is originally made available for anyone to create live
sticks - what kind of small hw or barebone or ARM device would like to
use for it to create an locally usable (probably no network) micro
install server?
The target would be that who are not able to access through network
our distribution - at install parties would be able to request such
possibly credit card sized Fedora Live Station what is possibly loaded
with Fedora 21 server, cobbler, and it's webui, LiveUSB installer,
every current images, maybe a reduced package repo and so on..... that
possibly at the end - if we put out this box at events or send over to
suffering countries to install events makes ease the pain?
My question would be also that:
1. How big SD/SSD is would be required to contain most of the ISO's
and/or local repo on this tiny server?
2. Cobbler can support our Live USB media creator?
3. Cobbler with webUI can be our .next generation Live station if we
can simplify the UI to buttons only level?
4. Is it possible to create viral installing - I mean if you create an
another installation - you can trigger an another with it and so on?
5. How small cheap can be this server, if the size weight is important
because of sending over countries?
Thanks,
