    since I used the offline installer, Firefox shows no text at all, just images. Could not check wether videos are o.k., cant find em, without text.

  6. woet says:

    I was redoing the script and now miracoulously all works as advertised. dont know why.

  7. woet says:

    better redoe offline_installer script after an autoupdate of ghostscript (or any other package dealing with typefaces) or you might stay without any text in firefox (or most other mozilla based browsers).
    I need tu run VLC script before the codec script because….(please read line 1)

  8. woet says:

    With the help of the nice people from hacktolive.org I fionally found what plagued me for 2 weeks. The msttcorefonts_2.5 package in the offline_installer/packages directory seems to be defective. Replacing it with the same package through synaptic.

    I don’t understand. Do you mean that someone has to install other software while on internet. That is why Linux may not beat MS in the near future here in Africa where you have to wait for 2 hours to download a 20mb file from the internet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
