Re: [LUG] Open Source Day




Not sure,  My windows partition is still under quarentine due to this virus, 
(I think I have got rid of it,  but need to be 100% ) and updated with my 
virus program.  I need to try again and download the mcafee updates,  then 
ensure my system is 100% clean.  As for Linux it works for copying cd's fine, 
but I have tried to create cd's but have had problems, I would rather leave 
bringing it along (even though i apreciate it would help) mainly due to the 
virus problem.  

Sorry about this, but the last thing we need is to give someone a virus, the 
only cd I have burnt recently is one for pictures, which AFAIK is not 
something that can be infected with a virus.

See you on saturday,  I will bring my badge that I had last time,

That would be great, but would you be able to bring along a machine to burn
cd's from that has a cd writter & an ethernet card? We (at the SLUG) are
able to download and mirror most things as long as we're given enough
warning, but we're going to be running short of machines that can burn
things...

I've currently got Mandrake 8.2 3 cd version, Redhat 7.2/7.3 beta &
openoffice 641d mirrored so anyone with a laptop & ethernet card or willing
to carry a desktop box with an ethernet card to the event will be able to
download it.

Suse 8.0 is pretty much the only distro we can't give away as well - Suse
don't do download editions of their iso's like other distros, and we don't
really have enough time to create iso's from thousands of rpm's :/

With all this talk of cd burning would you like me to bring some cdr
along as I have 25 still in shrink wrap,  cost £3.75 or something from
121cdr.co.uk work out at around 13p each,  so would be willing to sell or
swap for something,  7/8 blank cd's for a copy of Suse 8,  that sort of
thing.  just to cover my costs really,  so I can then get some more,  can
also bring some cd wallets to protect them on the journey home 5p each
£5.00 for 100,  so I we should have plenty to go around,  can also bring
cd pens.  (my rucksack is getting heavy already).

I have also found some floppy disk buried within my box of bits, at home
so will bring them too,  (starting to see large box of bits building up
here).

I would be interested in Suse 8.0 if possible,  as I want to upgrade my
current system and possibly think about really dumping windoze having
just reinstalled then getting a virus,  WineX and wine should make it
possible to run half life and c&c through Linux,  If I get down to a
proper hacking run and make it work.

No problem bringing open office,  641d.   I can also bring a partition
magic 4 boot disk.  unless someone else has a later version they can
create a boot disk from.
