Well, I'm sure you can find and install sablotron then ;-) That's not really meant as a harsh reply, but providing working cross-distribution binaries when at least one major distributor is still sticking two fingers up to the FHS isn't a game I want to play when I don't have to. Hope you understand, MJR.

It is not necessary to install sablotron to produce alug web pages. This is explained on the page http://www.anglian.lug.org.uk/background/cvs-access.html but I should link to the sablotron site somewhere. Once again: It is not necessary. Indeed, I don't have it installed here.

Followed shortly by why did you think there was an exam for using wireless? I know you need to do an exam for a VHF license (got mine soon) but for 802.11 you don't it sits in the Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) band and is license exempt. Not however that Bluetooth, kitchen Microwaves, video senders and lots of other bits of kit live in this band.

Initial details of the syleham meeting should be on the website. A poster to be scattered around liberally is at http://mjr.towers.org.uk/alug/syleham20016.pdf I'd wait until tomorrow, though, so that I can correct all the goofs that people will point out to me ;-)
