This page contains links to projects that need to be worked on at Hickman Elementary School. They are mostly configuration issues. Each needs to be answered and the solution documented. Your help will be appreciated.

**Please don't answer on this page, but on the linked page within the question.**

Please remember that these answers need to be written so a grade schooler or inexperienced sysadmin can understand them. If you can supply a screen shot or other graphic that will make what you are explaining easier to understand, please do. There is no upload capability in the wiki, but if you create a link to an offsite server, we will gather them up, and put them on this server

* How do you "cut and paste":CutNPaste a graphic from a web page for example, into Abiword?

* How can different "logins environments":LoginEnvironments be created for different users, grouped according to classroom or grade?

* How can I set up "file sharing":ConfigureSamba so that Windows PCs can access the same files and folders as the K12LTSP clients?

* How can I get my "Windows PCs to print":WindowsPrinting through the LTSP server?

* How can K12LTSP be configured so that when you create a "new user":NewUser, their home directory will be where their work in Windows is saved also?
  As an example, they boot into K12LTSP and create a document in Open Office, the next time they boot into Windows 98 and the same document is visible with Microsoft Word in !MyDocuments.

* How can the "Mail Server":ConfigureEmail (MTA), POP or IMAP Server (MDA) and clients (MUA) be configured, so that students can learn about using email, and practice by sending email to other students?

* How can the server be configured with "Apache":ApacheSymlink, so that students can save pages into a specific "folder" and then view them on the server with a web browser?

* Can the thin clients be configured so students can save their work to a "floppy on the local machine":LocalFloppy?

* How do you add "plugins to the mozilla browser":MozillaPlugins?

* "How do we create a directory in every user's home directory where they can drop a file, and have it automatically displayed by the Apache Web Server running on the LTSP server?":ApacheSymlink

* How do I "print from Windows to printers on the LTSP server":WindowsPrinting?

* How did we fix the X configuration so that "chording":MiddleMouseButton works to paste?

* What bugs did we find in "redhat-configure-users":RedHatUserBugs?

* Some computers in the lab seem to boot very slowly (1 min 30 sec) while others will boot quickly (20-30 sec). "What can cause this problem?":SlowXboot

* We have two servers in the lab. The default K12LTSP install sets the hostname for the server the same every time. What needs to be done to "reconfigure":RenameServer this, so they can then talk to each other as separate servers?

* How can I set up a test "K12LTSP installation":K12LTSPTestSetup to finish wiki documentation?
