The situation in Bolivia is this: We have a lab in a poor city called El Alto. The lab has 20 computers, Pentium IIIs, 20GB HDD. However, we do not have an internet connection there. Only in the office in La Paz. We have installed Edubuntu(workstation) on all of the computers, but we need to install Spanish lang. pack. Many on Xchat tell us to download the DVD. But, the machines don't have DVD drives. We are setting up a server, but it doesn't have a DVD drive either. So we need to make a CD that has the packages for install on the individual machines. We have tried taking the packages from a Spanish install in the office, but it does not seem to be working. Here is what we did:
This is is the list of files that we took from the var/cache/apt/archives folder.
aspell-es_1.8-4_all.deb
language-pack-es_20051011_all.deb
language-pack-es_20060126_all.deb
language-pack-es-base_20051011_all.deb
language-pack-gnome-es_20051011_all.deb
language-pack-gnome-es-base_20051011_all.deb
language-support-es_20051010_all.deb
mozilla-firefox-locale-es-ar_1.0.4lang20050515-1ubuntu3_all.deb
mozilla-firefox-locale-es-es_1.0.4lang20050515-1ubuntu3_all.deb
myspell-es_1.8-4_all.deb
openoffice.org2-help-es_1.9.129-0.1ubuntu5_all.deb
openoffice.org2-l10n-es_1.9.129-0.1ubuntu3_all.deb
wspanish_1.0.14_all.deb
And copied to the HDD, through the install feature, right clicking on the file -> install. That is, some of them installed succesfully with a dialogue box showing a progress meter. Some others came up with errors.
So, this did not seem to work. Any suggestions?
Thanks so much everyone!
Regards,
Seth

Hello Edubuntu Land,
I am in Bolivia and we are trying to get our lab setup with Edubuntu in Spanish. However, we don't have the resources to download the entire DVD of language packages. We do not have stable connection, hard drive space, and the computers don't have DVD players. Can anyone suggest how we might be able to get or help setup a download for language specific CDs?
Regards,Seth
