Hi wplugers!

The following has been sent to all MISM students of CMU. If you're 
interested, feel free to let me know, so that I can personally notify 
you of the exact time and place of the event (I've put a reservation 
request for Hamburg Hall Auditorium, 17:00).

Please note that I'm not necessarily skilled (or sufficiently 
multi-threaded...) to take care of very diverse configurations - most 
CMU students have the same laptop as me, and will therefore hit no 
snags during installation. Having said that, if we get technical 
support from wplug gurus, I'm confident that we'll be fine.

The event as currently planned is a real-time demonstration/installation 
of the Red Hat 8.0 distribution, with a laptop being configured while 
connected to a projector, and everyone in the room replicating the 
steps needed to install. It's completely inflexible, but it's all I can 
handle on my own.

*******************************************************************
Dear all

The 2nd international linux installfest is on its way. We'll be doing
a  standard installation of the Red Hat 8.0 distribution.

The procedure followed will be based on the IBM T23 Thinkpad. Other
machines are welcome, but bare in mind that we won't have time to
troubleshoot different configurations.

To participate, you must do three things:

[1] Send an email to apapadop+linux at cmu.edu stating that you'll come
next Friday afternoon (after 15:00 for sure)

[2] Download and burn the CD images of Red Hat 8.0.There are 3 CDs,
which are available here:

http://linuxbuild.andrew.cmu.edu/iso/8.0-disc1.iso
http://linuxbuild.andrew.cmu.edu/iso/8.0-disc2.iso
http://linuxbuild.andrew.cmu.edu/iso/8.0-disc3.iso

or here:

http://carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/redhat/redhat/linux/
8.0/en/iso/i386/psyche-i386-disc1.iso

http://carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/redhat/redhat/linux/
8.0/en/iso/i386/psyche-i386-disc2.iso

http://carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/redhat/redhat/linux/
8.0/en/iso/i386/psyche-i386-disc3.iso


[3] Backup in any way (thunderbolt - linux servers - CDs) anything on
your disk that would make you cry if it was lost. We haven't had any
information loss previously, but... better safe than sorry. Empty your
D: drive (second disk partition) completely, as we'll delete it to
install linux.

PARTICIPATION:
If there are less than 15 replies, the event will be cancelled. Please
email me if you plan to attend. To avoid spamming people who don't
want  to participate, further information on the exact place and time
of the  event will be sent individually to all respondents, and NOT to
this  list.

Thanks
