If we're contemplating an install fest, this note from the New York LUG mailing list might make a good start for the announcement. pls ----- Forwarded message from Jay Sulzberger <jays@panix.com> ----- From: Jay Sulzberger <jays@panix.com> Subject: [nylug-talk] Sunday 17 March 2002: Install Fest Thrown by GNU/Linux One Graduates in Brooklyn USA To: nylug-talk@nylug.org Date: Fri, 15 Mar 2002 03:34:15 -0500 (EST) The Graduates of NYLXS' GNU/Linux One Class are proud to throw their first Install Fest. The Fest will start at noon Sunday 17 March 2002. No one knows when the Fest will end. The Fest will be on the second floor of 1600 East 17th Street Brooklyn USA which is three blocks from the King's Highway subway stop on the Q line. This Install Fest is made possible through the work and kind generosity of the Graduates and their Teacher, Ruben Safir, CEO of Brooklyn USA. For further information: http://www.nylxs.com Here is general information about Install Fests: Hardware: Bring the boxes on which you wish to run a Free OS. Software: Bring whatever distribution CDs, boot and rescue disks, boot managers, tiny distributions, manuals, and anything else you want. Important: Everything done to/with any computer at any Install Fest, and in particular, at this Install Fest, is done at the specific request of the owner of the computer. As with all human endeavor, there is some risk of catastrophe. Back up all your data, before coming to the Fest! In addition, make a list of all hardware and media you bring to the Fest, and check that you have all your hardware and media when you leave the Fest.
