Several people have heard of my "Babelbox" demo machine which was featured for the first time at Solutions Linux expo in Paris. This demo machine is a Debian Installer demo which runs over and over, changing the installation language at each run. This is a quite nice demo of the installer automation capabilities and a good eyecatcher for a Debian booth. At Solutions Linux, the demo ran 54 successive installs (being limited by power outage during nights), but I already ran up to 300 successive installs while testing it. The demo installs a complete desktop system with the default "desktop" task from tasksel (the one with Gnome AND KDE), then opens a Gnome session which include a "welcome" sound in the current language. Most of these sounds have been contributed by Debian-women contributors as well as D-I translators. Some people have requested me to make the demo material available so that they can build their own Babelbox demo and possibly make it better. So, I have put on http://people.debian.org/~bubulle/babelbox.tar.bz2 the whole material needed for Babelbox (including sounds...which make the file quite big) as well as the needed documentation. I hope you'll enjoy it and certainly will make it even better. I'd like to publicly thank here my employer, the French Aeronautics and Space Reseach Center, as well as François Mescam, my boss, for allowing me so build and test this demo on our equipments as well as invest some on my work time on automated Debian installs in the demo setup. -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
