Ed,
I can do some of that... I have 2 cd burners... a nice computer
(550mhz), and am familiar with OCF/Community village/Communications booth
(check out http://www.efn.org/~combooth/). i did that a few years ago. I
dont know if i want to bring expensive dust sensative equipment (like
cdrom burner) to the fair, but I can burn disks, and i can definetly setup
linux on boxes, and possibly bring a multi-boot/multi-os box to demo.
