Hello
May I bring my machine along to your workshop on the Linux beginners
evening?
Yes that would be fine.
I would like someone to install Linux for me.
If there is a willing helper planning to attend, can they please
attach to this thread?
98 and xp pro,are already running on the drive with a spare section
of 8gb for Linux.(I hope) what sort of details would i need other
than>X86 based Pc. processor Genuine lintel 467MHz. 448.00MB mem.

cd writer, Lt Modem..
It sounds pretty standard gear. Any printer/etc peripherals attached?
The modem (internal?) is always the sticking point, but I believe LT
should be fine. Especially under Suse, as I recall. An external serial
port modem is the way to go, if you can. I would have recommended
trying Ubuntu first, but reports are that Fedora Core 3
<http://fedora.redhat.com> has drivers more readily available for LT
(or Mepis). It comes down to what your installer wants to supply.
They'll need to bring your CDs. - Anyone?
I have to run the sessions, so will be able to fill the installer role
as a last option only.
or is it worth the effort?
Yes, if you're keen to learn Linux. This is a good start. Definitely.

It's a can-do.

sp2 colour page scanner (getting scarry?) web-cam, usb keyboard and
mouse.MEPIS sounds fine might as well start with one that has a
fan:)Thanks for that, sounds promising like the novel idea of a Q&A
session rather than G&S (guess and search yourself)
Thanks again
