Any dates to be avoided? Evenings or > weekend better? > For various reason I feel a weekend would be better... it gives more time available, and more people will be available to assist.. 20 PC's you say.. you will need a network switch to take all of them, plus a few more terminals (24 port at least), also enough power leads.. a number of keyboards and perhaps a few monitors (I have a few spare here I can donate to the cause(keyboards and monitors)) to get things up and running.. Do you know if the network cards have PXE boot facilities ?? if so this will save lots of leg work, if not I am sure there are ways around it.. As for dates, last week in Sept and first week in Oct are not good for me, however a weekend during that time might be feasable... erm... apart from that, a crate of coke can be provided by me.. is the youth club the building next to the car park ? -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
