The turnout was large considering the late announcement. 5:30 pm was the scheduled time but since there were some official formalities required we were delayed by an hour. Moreover finding the hall was difficult for some people. The arrangement was excellent. An LCD projector would have completed our wish list. Otherwise we got just everything we wnated - enough seats, AC room, Good atmosphere, white board, etc. First each member gave a short self-introduction one by one. After that Indra gave his talk on building rpm packages. Demonstrated how to build a ".src.rpm" file and a ".rpm" (binary) file once you have a source tree that complies and ready for deployment. He promised to put some of the slides online. On his box we also had a first look of the Bangla Gnome and the Bangla KDE desktops in Mandrake. The meeting ended at about 8:30 pm. Please add if I have missed any piont. -Saugata Ghsoh --- Jaybrata Bhattacharyya <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > arinbasu wrote: > > Hi All: > > > > Got a laptop with Win XP Home, and considering to > add RH 8.0 as a second OS, eventually migrating to > Linux, since there are plenty of data in my laptop I > do not want to lose (as opposed to freshly start > with Linux as the sole OS and blow away the current > OS). > > > > That said, I want a dual boot.
