Pi is working great a as server on a wired network of secure desktops Not convinced on reliability/support for the Plus in a challenging remote location My thinking in sticking with the RPi rather than going down the Plus route is:ĭevice is cheap with easily replaceable parts (usb, SD card etc) I have successfully loaded the static Schools Wikipedia (but still very outdated in some respects). It would be nice if the curated schools Wkipedia was kept up to date as this is sort of a ‘go to’ app on Rachel.Īnything you can do to help with Ka-lite would be much appreciated. still refers to the president of Ghana as John Ata Mills (from 2011). Update Wkipedia - sort of frustrated that the schools version of Wikipedia is too old e.g. Stick with Ka-lite ESS as this is what the children (and teacher) are used to ( and it is small enough to fit on the 64gb usb My requirements for the the Rachel build are:ĭownload modules that are primary school relevant (eg BinoFino, Cat and dog books etc) Although the large format SD card from 2013 has been super reliable I am assuming that the 64gb usb will be a better solution for the B+. I have a new B+ model for them and it is great that it boots directly from my 64gb usb. They are currently using a 32gb Rachel distro from 2013 running on an original RPi. I am basically building what I want to be an updated Rachel system for deployment in primary school in Bolgatanga, Ghana. If you have any other issues/questions let me know. If you want Wikipedia for schools, there is a static version which will not have those issues and won’t require those steps. There are also instructions on what to do if you have issues running Wikipedia modules. If you decide to try KA-Lite ESS on the KA-Lite supported image, as of right now the download will still fail and you will need to run an extra script that I can link to fix it. The static KAOS modules like en-KAOS will work if you want those as well as Kolibri.

which has instructions on how to install Kolibri channels inside of Kolibri a installing kolibri channels through the RACHEL install page will not work. The readme for the image is at this link. To save on system resources KA-Lite was not included and is in a separate ka-lite only image. Kolibri is an updated replacement for KA-Lite which has all of the same content available. The Kolibri image is running Kolibri only and not KA-Lite.
