Fedora Linux Installation slides and Voice presentation of the same for you all available for download
Herald D'Sa
The main problem in starting to use Linux is the installtion part.
I have created one presentation with screenshots of FC4 installation
along with 30 minutes audio presentation of the same .
Installation10.ppt - 6MB (69 slides)
Linstall10.mpt - 13MB (recorded voice 30 of minutes)
You can download the same from the link below
http://www.strokefx.com/FLOSSHYD/INSTALLATION/index.php
I thank Vikram of http://www.strokefx.com/ for uploading and providing
a space for download.
JNTU has one unit on dual booting Linux in the IT Workshop syllabus of
First year B.TECH from this year. I feel what JNTU has done is really a
great thing for the budding Engineers.
Once the students get the taste of Linux in the First year itself,
there is nothing that can stop them from using it for all the 4 years.
Cheers

Not at all. It was prepared on FC4 and OOo. Actually I wanted to
mention on what OS it was prepared etc.
You can see in the partition section of the slides that there is no
vfat at all and I have mentioned it in the audio (screenshots are of
FC4 installtion on my system).
Also the audio was recorded using audacity on Mandriva 2006 which
supports only ogg format. I have to thank Vikram for converting the
ogg file to mp3 format.
My machine has only Linux in it. FC4, Centos, Mandriva 2006 and
Kubuntu.
Cheers
Herald.

Hello Arky
The main audience for this presentation is Windows users who want to
dual boot with Linux. I want only .sxw or pdf format and ogg for audio
to be uploaded. But only people having acrobat reader , Openoffice ,
ogg media player will be able to use the material.
The condition is so bad in internet centres , Engineering colleges or
even with peoples computers at home, they wont even have acrobat reader
installed, forget about Openoffice.
Same case with ogg compatible players.
I dont want to spread the use of proprietory formats.
Cheers
Herald.

Hi Herald,
Often in the past when I had to choose between MS Word
Suite and PDF documents I choose the later.
Sometime ago I studied different delivery mechanisms
for showing slide-shows on legacy OS (MS Windows)
without using PowerPoint or any other sideshow viewers
and at the same having a maximum reach.
What I finally settled for is to encode the slides
(almost 60-70 slides) with captions (explanation of
current slide) using transcode/mencoder. The result is
small video clip with extreme slow frame-rate that can
be played on PC and videodisc players alike. Even an
voice-over audio stream could be added. The whole
process can be done from a command line without need
of any special video editing software.
Such a clip can be played in loop during the
college/school events on OH projector explaining the
installation of gnu/Linux. The file size of clip can
be very small enough for downloads over the Internet.
The only requirement for encoding is moderately fast
computer.
Cheers

Rather than limiting the spread of FLOSS in few institutions like JNTU
i suggest we take the initiative of spreading the FLOSS in every
possible area. I have been discussing this with Vikram since long.
FLOSS is the need of hour for India. We should shoulder the
responsibility of spreading it. We can plan out a strategy used by
commercial organisations to promote FLOSS.
Any takers
