Description
Summary:In this paper we describe a Linux distribution that is meant to provide a suitable educational and working environment for users that need support of Karelian language in the system. The distribution is CD-based, and can be booted up from the compact disc or installed on a computer hard drive. We explain considerations behind the choice of the Knoppix platform for our distribution and list the main contents of the CD. We proceed then to the main topic of the paper, namely to description of the steps needed for introduction of Karelian language to Knoppix and to Linux in general. The final part of the report discusses possible ways of keeping the distribution up-to-date.
