All, I am planning on building a computer which is a copy of en.wikipedia (including portals), en.wikitonary, en.wikibooks, species.wikimedia along with the pictures. The computer will be sent to India to be used in educational settings, and will probably be copied and shared. I have already built a mirror of en.wikipedia at http://freeknowledge.dyndns.org/ however some of the pages are not rendered properly. For e.g. http://freeknowledge.dyndns.org/index.php/India Any suggestions/advice on how to fix this and pitfalls that I will likely encounter while adding other websites (en.wikitonary, en.wikibooks and probably ta.wik*) is greatly appreciated. -Krishna

Looks like you haven't installed Parser Functions ( http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/ParserFunctions ) or any of the other extensions used on the Wikipedia. Compare: http://freeknowledge.dyndns.org/index.php/Special:Version To : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Version ... you want everything under "Parser hooks" to be the same on your wiki as per the Wikipedia, in order to have the best chance of Wikipedia content displaying correctly on your wiki. You can download the extensions you need from http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions , and get documentation for most of the extensions from meta.wikimedia.org (e.g. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Cite/Cite.php#How_to_install )
All the best, Nick.
