Re: [Wlug] WPI Install Fest

by Dan Potter

I've got a CD burner, so if anyone has any images they want me to burn, I can churn out some CDs. However, I'll also bring along my copy of Partition Magic 7.0 - I'm sure we can find a use for it :) (I can also probably bring people through a RedHat 7.x or a Mandrake 8.0 install.)

I'm back in town by then so I'll show up. That way you can have someone to look after trivia like setting up the Tux cutout. I'll bring a few ethernet cables and a small hub since they turned out handy last time around. I'll also bring an extension cord or two since that also got used (until I pulled it out). (I thought about bringing a UPS but then I would just end up pulling out its power cord :-) I can bring my SuSE 7.2 disks in case anyone wants to go that way. Let me know if there is anything else I should bring. doug

Andy, Like usual, I'll volunteer and I'll do the CD's for you. Just let me know what distribution you want and I'll come up with a graphic of some kind. Tim. -----Original Message----- From: Andy Stewart [mailto:andystewart@mediaone.net] Sent: Tuesday, September 25, 2001 11:43 PM To: wlug(a)mail.wlug.org Subject: [Wlug] WPI Install Fest Hi Everybody, We will be having an install fest at WPI on Thursday evening, October 4th, from 6 PM to 10 PM in "the Discovery Classroom", aka Higgins Labs room 218. I am mainly aiming this at WPI students, but certainly anybody else who wants to get Linux installed is most welcome to join us. I don't know if I've seen this classroom...could somebody from WPI tell me how many computers we could reasonably accomodate in this room? This is just in case we get overwhelmed with folks requesting installations. I am seeking volunteers to do installations as well as folks who wish to get Linux installed fo the first time. I'll give preference to full installs, but if there are some folks who need to have some piece of Linux configured, we can do that on a space available basis. As in the past, I would like to suggest a $10 donation for installees. This will help to defray the cost of making CDs which you can take with you after the install fest. If you have your own Linux CDs, we'll do our best to get that version installed for you. If you are interested in attending, either as an installer, installee, or voyeur, please send me an e-mail.

Sign me up for an install or two (not that it doesn't turn into more of a concerted group effort anyways). I'll be bringing 5 pairs of Mandrake 8.0 CDs as well as an updates CD, and since I imagine I wouldn't get through more than an install or two, anyone's welcome to the left-overs, free of charge. -b

Re: [Wlug] WPI Install Fest

by Dave Coutu

Hey Andy, I used to work as a lab manager in Higgins for Sia, and if I remember correctly, the Discovery Classroom is the tiered lecture hall at the end of the second hall across from some of the ME Profs offices, and there is plenty of room and network drops in there for a pretty large group of installs. I think this is the classroom that laptops and docking stations were bought for... tho it's been a while, so I could be totally off. Hope this helps!

I don't think a whole lot of the network drops are live right now, but we should be able to supply a 24 port 10/100 switch and cabling. -- Frank Sweetser fs at wpi.edu, fs at suave.net | $ x 15 Full-time WPI Network Tech, Part time Linux/Perl guy | Who wants to remember that escape-x-alt-control-left shift-b puts you into super-edit-debug-compile mode?

REMINDER: WLUG Group Project

by Andy Stewart

HI gang, This is a reminder about the WLUG group project, where we will install Linux on 4 machines in Lancaster MA this coming Saturday, Sept. 29th. We'll be networking them together, connecting 2 printers and configuring them for access by all machines (including a Windows machine), configuring a modem for dial out, and if time allows, we'll configure a USB scanner. I currently have very few responses. We don't need an army of folks, but 3 - 5 more committed folks would probably do the trick. Please send me an e-mail if you definitely plan to attend. Later, Andy -- Andy Stewart Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA, USA http://www.wlug.org

WLUG discount on Happy Hacking keyboard

by Andy Stewart

Hi gang, I have no personal connection with this vendor, and I apologize in advance if you consider this spam. The folks at www.pfuca.com who make the Happy Hacking keyboard have extended a $20 discount to WLUG members who wish to purchase any one of their keyboard models. If we (as a group) purchase five, we can get one free (and then fight over it!!!). (Maybe I'll buy one for the raffle...). I am sick of the escape key being in the wrong place and am considering this purchase. If anybody else is interested, please let me know so I can coordinate the group order. Send me e-mail if you are interested in the details. Later, Andy -- Andy Stewart Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA, USA http://www.wlug.org
