General

Base product

We tested this add-on media with the official 11.4 download DVD as base product. This official DVD5 contains about 4.5 GB software for ix86 or x86_64 computers and can be found at http://software.opensuse.org.

Package descriptions

Find more informations about the packages on the media in the openSUSE wiki at http://en.opensuse.org/Education/Applications.

We've tried to order the packages in age groups and areas of applications to make the overview easier.

Meet us

As we are an "online community" , we use many forms of online communitcation to help other users, coordinate our work or just talk about the latest interesting things for education.

Have a look at http://en.opensuse.org/Education/Communicating to get in touch with us.

Education Bugzilla

We are a very young and small community and it could be possible that we overlook a fault in one of the hundred packages we have to create and maintain for the different distributions and architectures. If you find a fault in one of our packages, please inform us - so we can fix it. You can use one of the possible communication forms above or enter a bug directly in our bugtracking system.

openSUSE Education uses the openSUSE bugtracking system for failures in packages or online repositories: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/. Please report all bugs you encounter using this Release of openSUSE Education 1.0 for 11.4 in the openSUSE Bugzilla https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/.

Source RPMS

The source RPMs for "openSUSE Education packages" are available at http://www.opensuse-education.org/download/repos/1.0/11.4/suse/src/.

Localization Support

Support for all languages is available on the medium.

Technical

pauker-lessons

Additional lessons for pauker can be found in the pauker-lessons package. The lessons are installed in the directory /usr/share/pauker. So you have to navigate to this directory in pauker to find them.

plutimikation

Plutimikation is a very young KDE application and has currently a low functionality. For testing reasons, we included this package nonetheless.

Kiosk-Education-Settings

The KDE-menu of the Kiosk-Education-Settings is too small. It needs to be manually enlarged. Click on the upper right corner of the KDE menu to enlarge it.
