instead of german!)
I reworked an AFU Knoppix CD that boots to a default language of English recently. I have a CD of it sitting beside me on my desk as I write this. I spoke with Bill Geschwind (who has been attending meetings regularly as of late) to see if he could translate some of the manuals, etc that come on the disc for us, but I have yet to find time to provide him with the materials. :) So perhaps later tonight I can get those stripped off and sent to him.
AFU Knoppix has stuff to do soundmodem so if we can find a laptop or desktop that works, we should be able to run a packet station at the table.
I think is a great idea. See below for how I can contribute.
So, what I'd like to know is, who can bring what? We need some people to bring (and possibly burn first) copies of Fedora, Mandrake and Knoppix. I can work on Mandrake and AFU Knoppix . Who can bring machines to act as burners? Aaron, is there any chance of getting those spiffy LCDs you brought to the RARSfest? O:-)
I would say it's highly likely that I can bring the LCDs again (perhaps better ones :) ). I will bring my snazzy desktop, and I'll make sure it's got a capable distribution on it with CD burning utilities this time. :) I'll be bringing my PowerBook as usual, and I should have my Nextel goodness along with me also (so we'll have wireless broadband, if the building allows us to get a signal). The snazzy desktop should be more than capable of doing softaudio packet, so that should cover that aspect - but we'll still need a radio w/ compatible inputs. Unfortunately, this I can not provide.
Finally, I'd like to see if the people volunteering for the swapfest can get together sometime, possibly for lunch, so that we can go over stuff and make sure we're all on the same page. Can the people that volunteered make it to Crazy Fire in Cary on Friday at around noon?
I am free on Friday for lunch, and it is now tentatively on my calendar, pending confirmation from others.
