Re: Req.: experiences with standalone profile

Hi there,
on the web pages, standalone profile is said to be devised especially
for laptops that are not always connected to tjener. This defines the
goals of the profile quite well, but leaves some question to those who
didn't find the time to try it out, yet.
Obviously standalone encourages the usage of local accounts. To what
extend are the pros of a workstation installation available to
standalone installations whenever you connect them to your tjener?
I remember a flaw in manual partitioning with that profile, could
anyone, please, report the current state?
All questions refer to both: Venus 1.0r2 and Alpha-Sarge-bzzware.
Venus: Yes we have done that - we added KDE 3.1 from kde.org, and it
worked fine.
1.0r1: The installer is broken for a standalone installation. i guess
it's possible to work around it, but I have not heard any success stories.
1.0r1+di_rc2: This is basically 1.0r1 with the installer fixed. it
should work, and it should be fairly easy to use together with an
existing installation or as the only installation on the disk.
Sarge: Should work without problems.
Anyway - you might find this document of interest if you plan to deploy
a larger set of standalone laptops:
http://developer.skolelinux.no/dokumentasjon/installing_SL_to_a_laptop.txt
(Maybe I should start a matrix for it ;)
Thank you - and sorry in case I missed something (until having asked
about standalone I never had cared about it)
Well, you could have done a search on google or gmane for it ?
I tried to search for "skolelinux standalone laptop" on google, and
guess what was the first document I found ?
