I have now set up a Minetest server on a Raspberry Pi. This works and I am able to ssh in to the Pi and start remotely.
I have also set up a 3.5” Pi screen, set the pi to auto login and display the IP address(s) of the Pi. I followed some of the instructions at [2],[3] to set up the screen but didn't need the sections for setting up the gui.
The next step is to set up a router so try and provide an internal network at the library for playing minetest. I followed so
We had a quiet session today so we were busy getting two computers installed with Windows 8, and another dual booting Windows XP and Windows 8. This went really well, after installing the OS we installed some applications that we want to use during sessions.
We spent the latter ½ of the event trying to sort out Wi-Fi as one of the computers lost connection, we ended in the IT suits, using the e-machines as a Wi-Fi hotspot (bridge to library Wi-Fi) so the Lenovo could connect properly.
We really DO need a reliable solution for this.
