=== Creating the image ===
In later steps we'll automate the deployment of an image. In order to do that, we first need to have a working image. The best way to do this is to download the latest version of Raspbian or NOOBs and deploy Raspbian normally. After it finishes, you should update the system and install all the necessary packages. It is also important to change the language before you finish.

Install the latest updates
* sudo apt-get -y update

Install the necessary packages
* sudo apt-get -y install tuxmath tuxtype tuxpaint gcompris gimp libreoffice stellarium vim

Enable the relevant languages
* sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

Export the correct language (it should look something like es_MX-UTF-8 or en_GB)
* export LANGUAGE='<language>'
* export LC_ALL='<language>'

Not sure if this is necessary, but I run it again anyways to verify it shows in a different language
* sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

Poweroff the system, and move the SD card to a Linux system that can read the partitions. See the tar and xz commands in the section below on how to compress the image.

=== Creating the automated installer ===
Directions taken from https://github.com/raspberrypi/noobs
This assumes that you have already created a working copy of the image that you want to deploy. If not, see the section above on creating an image.

There are two main use cases for which you may want to create a custom version of one of the standard OS releases that is suitable for installation via NOOBS:

If you are a teacher wanting to easily deploy a custom OS release containing pre-defined set of packages and files onto a number of SD cards (e.g. to provision a class set of Raspberry Pi's or quickly restore a Raspberry Pi back to custom "factory" settings).

If you want to be able to back up your existing installed packages and files so that any future OS re-install does not force you back to a clean install.

The following steps allow you to create a modified copy of one of the standard OS releases that contains your custom files, packages and settings.

Download a base version of NOOBS from http://downloads.raspberrypi.org/NOOBS_latest

Extract the NOOBS zipfile

Navigate to the os directory

Create a copy of the folder containing the OS release that you want to modify and rename it with a custom name.

Edit the following fields in the os.json file contained in the folder that you just created
* "name" - replace the name of the base OS with the name of your custom OS version
* "description" - replace the description of the standard OS install with one for your custom OS version

[Optional] Rename or replace the existing <OS>.png icon file with one matching the name of your custom OS version

[Optional] Replace the PNG image files in the slides and slides_vga directory with your own custom installer slides

Edit the following fields in the partitions.json file contained in the folder that you just created
* "partition_size_nominal" - replace the numerical value with the size of the paritions in your custom OS version
* "uncompressed_tarball_size" - replace the numerical value with the size of your filesystem tarballs when uncompressed

Replace the .tar.xz root and boot filesystem tarballs with copies created from your custom OS version (these instructions assume you're only using a single OS at a time with NOOBS - they won't work if you're running multiple OSes from a single SD card). The name of these tarballs needs to match the labels given in partitions.json.

To create the root tarball you will need to run tar -cvpf <label>.tar /* --exclude=proc/* --exclude=sys/* --exclude=dev/pts/* from within the root filesystem of your custom OS version. You should then compress the resulting tarball with xz -9 -e <label>.tar.

To create the boot tarball you will need to run tar -cvpf <label>.tar . at the root directory of the boot partition of your custom OS version. You should then compress the resulting tarball with xz -9 -e <label>.tar.

== Desktop/Laptop Operating Systems ==
Kids on Computers promotes the use of Open Source Software. Typically we use Ubuntu or Edubuntu, but we are always looking for other distros that meet the needs of students and teachers. In many cases, donated computers with limited resources (e.g. physical memory) will perform better with a light-weight distro.
