I hope I'll make it, but it's a very inconvenient time for me.

I guess Xconfigurator is some RH lingo? As far as I remember (please
correct me if I'm wrong), we used local screens for some of the
computers in the 1st I.P. but since X11 config is heavily dependend
on screen attributes I suppose that people who don't bring their
screens will have to do the configuration at home (hopefully with
some help from the list and the best instructions during the party
we can give).

RH 2.3 sounds pretty old to me. I've allready said what I think
about Slackware.
You should try hard to organize Debian 1.1.x and RH 4 CD's and
HD's.
I might be able to collect some Debian disks burned over the last
weeks. Yigal might not be available in time to burn more (had a son
born yesterday). Erez sales Debian CD's (1.1.11, as far as I've seen,
but any Debian 1.1 CD is good since you can upgrade so easely).

The version on www.linux.org.il (can't remember the exact URL)
should be the latest.

You should certainly prepare MORE THAN ONE COPY of such a diskette.
Dunno about other utilities which do what FIPS does.
