Why is it that the required files and libraries are not distributed with the
package?
Can any arrangement be made for the same?
Like... When s/w s are d/l ed one may not be able to install it (errors like
ncurses are missing and all)
User end people find it very very difficult... They hate searching net for
every single thing jus to install one single package.
I have been hearing this for a thousand times..
Is it just about the size consumption or is there any other concern??

Apt-get and yum uses internet,rt...
It all started when we argue on need to use Linux. This is one of the areas
where i get stuck.. What will general public do if they do not have an
access to internet. M$ has succeeded wonderfully in this part. Almost all
installations come with all the required files. I am not talking about the
installations from within the CD provided. But an outside package.
Mahesh, can you tell us the exact issue you came across? like which

I always use the net.. So didnt have much tough time yet... :)

Sure.. i will check about this.. But, as mentioned above, that is not the
exact problem. Why cant a separate installation like that of a modem driver,
come with all the libraries and other dependency packages ready. If its
already installed, ok,fine, forget it; but else, its a great asset. Atleast
we wont have to go to net..
But i do see a big stupidity in my suggetion. At times the dependency tree
may also point to the base packages.. well, we dont need to provide an
entire Linux installation set, just tyo install a single package either!!!!
:) Perhaps some work has to be done. And a standard be developed so that
anyone developing a separate package, pack the installation in a particular
style that the general public is not affected much...

Hi all
Yeaterday about 30 students met in the Computer Science block of the MES
College of Engg. It was an introduction to FSF to the S4 students of the
college. Surprisingly about 7 girls also turned up!
Jinesh and Shyam did the keyroles. Jinesh gave the speech. They were given
the basic idea of Free Software.
We are planning to conduct a Debian Release party as soon as possible
(suggetions are welcome!)

Hi,
SVS (Sarvangin Vikas Sanstha) is India based
non-profit social trust. We have been developing open
source softwares for the rural area school children
from the last 2 years. You can download our softwares
from http://svs.org.in/Downloads.html.
In this financial year i.e. April 2007 to March 2008,
we have decided to undertake total 13 open source
projects. And naturally we require funds for such
projects.
You can see our project calendar at
http://svs.org.in/donations.html. We request open
minded people to provide us financial help.
I am not aware about the various mailing lists in
operating in different parts of the cities. So, I
request you to please forward this email to many other
mailing lists and the concerned people. The matter is
bit urgent.
SVS comes under 80G certificate, so that the donations
get Tax benefits.
For further details, feel free to revert back.
Thanks.
regards,
Anand Kulkarni

Two days back it came to my notice that a program called Teminal Server
Client uses an icon that contains the M$ Windows Logo.. I was running my
EDUBUNTU. Well it could not have been done by mistake..
Hope the future releases will not show the same again. Its a shame..
