There are some problems reported by teachers using new

some schools I had to install old version of IT@SCHOOL linux just for this
reason.
I tried Softexam version 5.0 (2006) on the new IT@School GNU/Linux and
it worked for me after some hacking. Try removing the
"localhost.localdomain" from the file /etc/hosts
If it is still not working, please inform me.
Softexam windows version run without problem and some teachers are
getting bad feeling of using GNU/Linux. Please try to avoid this kind of
mismatch and see if any remedy can be done at the earliest before all
schools start using Softexam and face the problems.
The new IT@School GNU/Linux contain Openoffice version 2 and the
softexam 5 is made to work with openoffice 1.0. So I'm not sure about
the softexam's performance with OpenOffice 2.
Please try the above mentioned method and try run softexam. Also send
me any error message displayed while trying to run the program.
