Howdy, I am not going to be able to demonstrate installing Mepis Linux on a PC for the next newbies meeting on 3/15/04. I broke my leg last Saturday and will be getting surgery on it next Tuesday morning.
Would someone be willing to give a demonstration on installing Mepis Linux to a group of Linux newbies? The location is a classroom setup with excellent A/V capabilities. A working PC will be required for the demonstration, though it may be possible to organize such a machine through the CCCC Linux SIG. Since Mepis is a bootable Linux CD, a working CDROM drive that can be booted is required in the demo PC. This demonstration is the third and final class of a three-part series to introduce newbies to Linux using Mepis Linux as the target distro. However, this demonstration should be able to stand on its own, without requiring knowledge of what transpired at the previous two classes. Of course, knowing how to install Mepis Linux would be helpful. Luckily, the Mepis installation is one of the easiest out of most Linux distributions out there. Mepis Linux (http://www.mepis.org) is based on Debian, so if you know Debian you will be in familiar territory. There are a bunch of Linux newbies who have been attending the class who would be very grateful if someone volunteered. In fact, a few volunteers would certainly be welcomed as then there would be more people to answer questions. And it would be a big help to me. Thanks! ===== John Hebert Official BRLUG Linux Curmudgeon Open Source Ankle Biter __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
