Yup. Do you have > any kind of a lesson plan for the meeti! > ng? No, unfortunately. I was going to let the Mepis install procedure drive the presentation. I was planning to spend a lot of time explaining how the partitioning tools works and how to install both on an empty hard drive and a drive with another OS on it (Windoze), as well as how to recover (boot the Windoze CD, run 'fdisk /mbr' or similar). > Were you planning on showing how to use the > second Mepis CD and using apt-get, Synaptic, and/or > Kpackage?
