Re: Gentoo Installfest

[Roger Searle]

Normally I'm a Dad Friday/Saturdays (and more) but will work that around 
whatever date is set, presuming that I'd have a week or more to do so.

Don, I am happy to go via Riccarton on the way to Parklands.

Cheers,
Roger

There is room for you Nick, good to see you. I wondered if you were
still about the list.
Venue will be Robert Fisher's garage where he has the necessary
networking facilities as well as a beer fridge and a nearby takeaway. 
(Well I am ad libbing the beer fridge, but I'm sure he will have one).

Time, one Saturday other than Easter - Rob has left that to me, any
views - anyone involved?
I thought NOT the 10th April, or the 17th (Easter & middle of the school
holidays). The 24th April or the 1st May? (24th will be the tail end
weekend of school hols so that may be a problem?)
People had better express their views, because I will be making an
executtive decision at some stage.

Hi, Long time no see,
	Is there room for me please? I have a celeron 1300 that currently runs 
mandrake 9.1. I would like to slip out the HDD from the removable drive bay. 
Plug in a fresh 40GB HDD and try out Gentoo. I am not sure if you have set a 
date yet btw. Who ever is running the Gentoo installfest please let me know 
dates and venues when you know them please and I am having trouble keeping up 
with all the news in list these days?

cheers and regards,
Nick Elder

Date:  This weekend is bad for me, easter is bad for Rodger, but otherwise
just advise me and I'll fit in.
Manuals: I'd like to see a copy of the manual before I came...  I like to
have done prior reading - plz no serif fonts, I can't read them (seriously,
it's a disability, having said that, I can manage with courier but Times
New Roman is hopeless to me).
PDA:  I never got a response on my PDA question.  (Will there be folk who
can help set up an equivelant to my MS enviornment.)
Machines:  I also have to other machines that I'd like to convert over to a
linux enviornment but I have a serious transport problem - ie no car. 
Can't very well bus 3 machines, laptop gets heavy enough after a while, if
there's anyone passing thru Riccarton that I can bludge a ride with that
would be great.

Cheers Don

I got the impression that after Roger read some of the
         

installation manual,

       

he was still keen for Gentoo.

Roger?

OK it looks like we really only have three takers for this, assuming
Roger Searle's network card is fixed independently of a whole new
install.
The installees are Rik Tindall, Chris Darby and Don Gould.
         

Plus Chris

       

Sawtell wants to update his machine with the help of the
         

compile farm,

       

but I'm not sure I count that as a new install, or someone requiring
assistance. ;-)
Surely there must be some others keen to do an assisted install of
gentoo? At one stage someone proclaimed we had 6 entries.
         

Am I missing

       

someone?
