So much to read, so little time.

Sorry to Roger and anyone else that I did not get that demo up and<indignantpuffery>
running last night, the meeting seemed to degenerate into a free for all
after the short and fairly inconclusive installfest discussion.
- that's because it was not chaired, & it was a social too.
- did you come along just to get the opportunity to say that? (a familiar phrase ;-)
- did we have a committee just to stop a real committee doing any fscking work?
- an offer for you to "cohere" - though not one to tax - the meeting was made before it (my mail confirming use of your IPCOP box bounced midst mail hiccups late that afternoon, but initiative was to carry it)
- i did not request the social, i just made sure the call for one was met.
- maybe if we spent less time playing robots with our successors, we would less resemble them.

Meeting report 30June04:
Attendance: 22
David spoke in IPCOP's place. He demonstrated the SystemRescueCd <http://www.sysresccd.org> (?) for partitioning NTFS at Installfest & the remastered Knoppix slideshow to go out to PC retailers. I asked David for 20-30 copies to take round non-DSE stores, and Nick endorsed it. Wesley offered to help distribute them, and we were to start tomorrow (Saturday 3/7/4).
The one thing David asked for specific help with, was accumulating the relevant drivers for modems & video chipsets, for inclusion on the above system utils cd for installers.
Some time was spent looking at SuSE, and a FedoraCore2 install was done successfully. Mandrake was also viewable there, thanks to Chris Wilkinson.
IPCOP is fairly easy to set up (says me who has done it many times). If anyone wants help with doing it then I am happy to come around and set it up for you, depending on time etc. or I will do it for you at the installfest.
I am also happy to give a demo of both installation and the features
available through the web interface at a future meeting, however I'd
probably be better to wait until 1.4 is released (1.4 beta 4 or 5 are
doing the rounds, surely must be soon, its like any other thing, it will
be released when its ready. Yeah right but is it going to be before 17
July?, no its ready when its ready. DOH frustration)
Looking forward to it,
Rik
