by This Install Fest is free and open to the public.
This Install Fest is made possible through the work and kind generosity of
the organizers and all the volunteers and the New School Computer Center.
Date: Wednesday, 28 July 1999.
Time: 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm.
Late comers are just as welcome as those who arrive at 6:00 pm.
Location: New School Computer Center
68 Fifth Avenue, between 12th and 13th Streets,
on the Island of Manhattan.
Hardware: Bring the boxes on which you wish to run a Free OS.
Though it is safest to bring your monitor, keyboard, and mouse,
you need not. We will have such available onsite.
Internet connections via ethernet will be provided.
Telephone lines will be provided, so we can help with PPP.
Software: Bring whatever distribution CDs, boot and rescue disks, boot
managers, tiny distributions, manuals, and anything else you
want. Again, you need not bring any of these things, since
they will be available onsite.
All free software welcome! LXNY does not discriminate among free kernels
based upon the first letter of their names. We shall install as many free
systems on as many machines and on as many different kinds of machines as
possible. We shall install both Linux kerneled and free *BSD kerneled
systems, we'll try a Scheme that boots on the metal, and we'd like to see
the Hurd and some other free kernels running, too.
All experienced installers are invited to come and help.
All students of economics, of the history of engineering, and of the art
of propaganda are invited.
The organizers of this Install Fest are Kamel Merarda of the
New School and Alex Khalil.
