I have the boot floppies and a laplink cable (if we need to do it over parallel) but if you need to boot via usb then you will need a pen drive you don't mind trashing, although I have never done a build via a usb flash boot before. Also please note that AFAIK this meeting is on Saturday 17th March not Wednesday 14th. Could we please correct this thread as its going to confuse people including me.
