Both machines comes with Windows 98 installed and ready configured for
the Universities Novell network. We used the
Partition Resizer to get
some space for the Linux system. Last week we configured obelix, so that
it runs without any problems. But there was not so much space left. We
decided before setting up hera to move the complete /usr to an external
file server. We copied the remaining root directory to hera and let
hera use the /usr from the external file server. Because hera has a
bigger HD we put the home directories and an /opt directory in separate
partitions and mounted them on obelix too. /opt is for the Java
development things. That worked (really!) so we were satisfied and are
using it now.
We compiled a kernel with only these things left we needed and modified
the startup scripts for initialising the soundcard (isapnp had to be
used). Then we updated the XServer to
XFree86 3.3.3 (but the Server is
still slow).
Setting up a printer, configuring KDE and installing
JDK and a trial version of
CoffeeShop 2.0
were also tasks in this week. And of course all these little things I
can not remember anymore...
