Folks, Additional details about this weekend's installfest; please read and heed. - There are about 60 FREE PARKING spaces on the weekend at the 1st Baptist church parking lot; you'll see the church as you're driving around. - Don't park in the lot at the grocery store on 10th St or YOU WILL BE TOWED. - NO FOOD OR DRINK CAN BE BROUGHT IN. In order to get the space for free, we need to buy food/drinks from the cafe. The cafe has great coffee, soda, chips, sandwiches and pizza. I had to pre-order pizzas so they would be ready for Saturday. If we buy 15 pizzas and buy drinks from the cafe we're covered. If not I'll get charged for the space and I don't have that kind of cash. I don't think this is too much to ask of folks in exchange for the free event space, network, etc. - We need to have the room cleared by 4:30pm as there is another event happening right after ours. If you plan to install gentoo or some other LFS/roll-your-own/compile everything from scratch distro, my advise is to arrive early and have a fast machine. I will take the network down when closing time arrives. You have been warned. - Wireless access is available but we ask that folks only use it for casual websurfing, email, ssh, etc. PLEASE DO NOT DOWNLOAD ISOS OR ATTEMPTED INSTALLS OVER THE WIRELESS NETWORK. If someone wants to bring their own wireless AP, you can plug it into the "installfest" network that I will have setup and install over that. We just need to be considerate of the buildings other tenants and customers. - Please bring switches, network cables, power strips or any other cables/accessories you need to make your computer go. I will have a couple 8 port switches there but we will obviously need more. - BYOM (bring your own CDR/CDRW media). I will have my book of ISOs but I don't have a burner in the installfest server or any media. I will have some isos locally for ftp installs (RH9, slackware 10.0, possibly others as time permits). If you have questions/comments contact me directly off list or directly at 612.823.2781. -- scot _______________________________________________ Twin Cities Linux Users Group Announcements - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-announce mailing list tclug-announce at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-announce
