Yes, that needs to be in. But it can still be sourced after a 9.1 Personal install.(I'd have recommended making 9.1 Personal the simple default, installing one-on-one by CD, unless people requested full kits.)
Pros + cons. It will be faster. However, part of the benefit of Linux, and SuSE (and some other distros) is to get a complete workable desktop system with one installation. This includes office software, i.e. OO.
Depends what peoples' hardware is like. I run KDE + OO adequately on a P3-450 512MB RAM, but installation would take 1h. That's mimum spec IMHO. SuSE and/or Linux won't turn obsolete hardware into a flash office machine.
No specs submitted as yet, so none have had to be rejected.
I thought about this too post-post (;-) When you said harddrive install, did you mean opening each box to attach one temporarily? - Slow & guaranteed to introduce faults & more delays, if servicing a group, imho. Setting up a server (I thought you meant) is also unnecessary fuss, when everyone has a CD player (hopefully bootable) now. I just assumed you meant a networked harddrive, which we can easily make work, and a bottleneck.Re install network: what hardware do we need? Where from? (I could bring some UTP, an 8port 100M switch and a power board).
Still, we'll follow your project lead for this occasion. Let's wait & see if any installs are requested, then supply efficiently.
Do we have a VGA projector for the demonstration part?
Zane helped us out last time. Anyone else equipped in that department? What resolution will you require Volker?
That's precisely what we are expecting - the best bits, drawn from experience.What fine points of the demonstration are people expecting? Or shall I just pick some?
