Hi everybody,

I want to announce here I have finished a first version of kiwix-serve.

I installed this at a farm school near Johannesberg last saturday.

They have a small network of 22 Windows XP computers installed in a converted container - the container was supplied by Rotary International, with a door and 4 windows and roof ventilation added.

They have no internet.

I put down a linux server, installed the zim file, kiwix-serve and the necessary extra debs, and a startup script run from init.d.

I had to write a script to background kiwix-serve, as I saw no daemon mode. I also redirected a chatty stdout to /dev/null.

I am a bit behind with svn updates, so apologies if these have already been added.

I attach a couple of pics of the school - sorry I have none of the inside of the container.
