As you may know copyright infringement is a concern in = countries like Thailand. In order to avoid such problems, we think using = FreeBSD will help. Seeing that the latest FreeBSD version, running in = desktop mode is quite stable, a few users myself included, have been = using it in the office.=20 We would like to expand our user base in Thailand. Particular = problems popped up among the newbies when they start to install, ie, = unsucessful installation due to incomplete software in the CD disk (cd = error) or an error during port installation (can't find dependency = files). In addition, due to the majority of users still using low speed = modem, this has created a significant hinderance and discouragement when = errors occured due to failure to find dependency files (not FreeBSD's = fault though). The other problem is the language problem, since we are = not an english speaking country, a lot of users have problems with the = manual. As a result, we would like to create a setup FreeBSD CD for = desktop users similar to those done in with PC-BSD or DragonFly disks. = In addition we will try to add thai language instructions in this = special distribution.=20 Since we have never taken on this kind of task before, we would = like to ask if any party in charge from FreeBSD organization or anyone = else has any suggestion regarding a setup disk similar to the above = mentioned distros. So we can begin by distributing to the new users in = Thailand for now. We hope that they learn to use this easy-use limited = version, and with more experience they will grow to use a full FreeBSD = user later on.=20 The plan is to include in the CD only OS & the basic application = software deemed necessary ( such as apache, php etc.) for starters so = they can be up and running FreeBSD. If there are any step-by-step instructions or person from whom we = can get some help, we would be grateful.=20 Attached are our captured screens showing what we have been using = and doing. There is an on going project, trying to translate the FreeBSD = handbook into thai=20 ( http://www.thai-aec.org/misc/handbook/index.html) =20 Although it is a long way to completion. We hope this is compatible with FreeBSD distribution policies. Again, thanks for any advice and information.=20 Regards Mr. Prasert Tuntiwaraporn Bangkok, Thailand 10500 FreeDesktop.FreeBSD@gmail.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------= ----- No virus found in this incoming message.
