Re: Linux Installation party - Some conclusions
I was there almost whole day and I have several things to suggest :
1) I think it will be very good idea to prepear floppies with loadlin +
kernel - so any one who will destroy MBR will be able to restore lilo
2) This party was sponsored by Actcom - (for those who dont know I work
there) I suggested to my bosses that next time we will make bunch of RH
CD's with Actcom's logo - this way we will be able to give people OS
without taking the money - really Free OS.
That's it for now.

P.S.: Why to use windows - there are doors.

|2. Next installation party, please, people who can come and help, please

|time, and another 6 were waiting. So PLEASE, come and help next time.
|
|3. Aparently, this kind of party attracts not only people who need linux
|and want to use it. But also highly technical linux users that want to
|come and see what we're doing. We had some visitors very knowladgeable
|that gave the whole party a different look at the end of it.
|
|If anyone has any thoughts on the matter, please share them...
