</div>The crash in Multiple Choice would be interesting, did you get a backtrace in<br>
the crash reporter? I tried to include debug packages for Parley, so hopefully<br>
this just works.<br>
Please try to save it if it happens again, since that is what we are looking<br>
to fix.<br>
The editing of vocabulary was changed very little in comparison to current<br>

</div>Creating the CD is not that difficult once you get the hang of it, adding files<br>
to it is also quite possible, so this is maybe something interesting. I would<br>
suggest using USB sticks instead of CDs, since they can save progress instead<br>
of being read only. In fact there was a vendor for notebooks for schools that<br>
would use linux live systems on usb sticks to allow each child to use any<br>
notebook as their own by just plugging in the usb stick. I don't remember the<br>
name of the project, nor do I know if it actually got put into practice or was<br>
just a presentation of the idea.<br>
<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>Have to buy some usb-sticks to test that ... hmmmmm ... now it's me thinking loud again: what if we could get the mayor of Maiori to sponsor USB-sticks to the kids with vocabulary training material and other lessons? If I only had more time to write some question/answer files like "Which river flows through London?" --> "Thames" or taking a picture of the Eiffel Tower and say "How is this monument called"? - or "where does the Eiffel tower stand" etc ... this would get us into geography, science (animals etc.), history etc. - we do need teachers on board that pass on their tests ...<br>
<br>Ok, will now write up something to get the conversion to kvtml2 - this is the first thing to achieve ... <br><br>Sabine<br></div></div><br>
