For what it is worth, the original at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SummerOfCode/2007/DebarshiRay reads as: # Manu has two machines-- one at work and one at home. The former has a nice Internet connection, while the other one does not. He is a not a geek, and wants to install a media player, which is there on his office box, at home. # Rakesh has five machines, which are not on the same LAN. Although all are connected to the Internet, the bandwidth is not good and it is costly to download the same updates and packages on all the machines individually. # My grandmother wants to try out Fedora. She does not know about computers, and finds it difficult to figure out what to install from the long list of available packages. So, I want to give her a 'yumpack' on a CD containing the packages she wants to have, so that she can just click and ask Pirut to install the contents of the pack, without thinking about anything else. However, what do you think about the context of Rishi's mail ? :Sankarshan - -- You see things; and you say 'Why?'; But I dream things that never were; and I say 'Why not?' - George Bernard Shaw -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGpG9mXQZpNTcrCzMRAq8zAKCO+MfwrbTaLnBduaWpjJrfqB6eUwCfQdyA tKeGl9/Sa5DSjTHWIbLTaU0= =qBvB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
