Here is general information about Install Fest:

We will have a network setup with a 24 port hub.  Please bring cables,
extension cords, power strips, floppies and Linux CD's.

Hardware: Bring the boxes on which you wish to run a Free OS.

Software: We will have Debian and Libranet CD's.  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.
