Hello,
Are there any kind souls in Norwich with enough space in a car to be able to get me to the meeting on Sunday? I'm based along the Ipswich Road and would happily throw a few pounds in their direction for petrol costs, etc.
Does anybody have any copies of RedHat 6.0 burnt on a CD-ROM as yet, as a matter of interest? And me final doodah is what is currently planned for the Sunday anyway?
Regards,
Martyn

Certainly - I'll give you a shout nearer the weekend to sort out times etc.

I was kinda hoping you'd be able to do that ;-) I've got RedHat 5.2, and I'll try and get a Debian CD or two sorted out as well.
And me final doodah is what is currently planned for the Sunday anyway?
So far -
* Welcome, introductions etc * Demos of Gnome, KDE, mozilla? * Installations / linux troubleshooting *Close at around 4, drink in the bar/pub? :-)
Any suggestions for stuff to do are welcome.

That would be great - many thanks - :) My home phone no. is 01603 503899 in case you need it, or alternatively the mobile on 0411 602009 in case I can't access email.
I was kinda hoping you'd be able to do that ;-) I've got RedHat 5.2, and I'll try and get a Debian CD or two sorted out as well.
If I can find a decent CD image somewhere, I'll get it downloaded and will burn 10 copies to take with me to the meeting to anybody that wants it (may charge a quid for the CD).

Do we have any idea of numbers yet?
Do I need to organise sarnies or something?
Do I need to try to find the time to get my (W95) CD-burner up-and-running?
Is someone bringing a mini-hub? Will I need spare cables etc?
Is someone going to help me get my ISDN working, plus firewall, plus ppp, plus, plus? :^)
FYI, bar should be open all day: real ale is Adnams and Major Brown's (locally-brewed); lunch served between 12:00 and 2:00, Jazz finishes at 3pm(ish).

Well, IIRC 15 "founding members" plus anyone who sees the ads minus those who can't come. Any clearer ;-)?

:)

<grin> Yes please. FWIW I can get CDs burned at uni, so I'll try getting RH6.0 /maybe/ tomorrow. I'll try getting the New Caldera 2.2(?) and *maybe* Debian. I'd like to try something other than RH.
Anything I burn I'll bring along to save d/l times, etc. Oh, and while on the subject, does anyone want me to create a CD with:-
- Latest stable and snapshots (if poss) of GNOME and KDE
- uhm, anything else biggish that's popular ;)
Could be useful for those with tons of tarballs on their system to have a backup handy...

I can't even bring my PC :(

heh.

OK. Noted.
BTW, I'll call the Rail people and organise my timetable tonight so if whomever offered a lift from Ipswich (that is right, isn't?) station you raise your hand I'll send you the pickup details (if the offer still stands of course :).

We should probably take requests and put together a standard CD, then split the burning across a few of us. Be nice to have a souvenir CD to take away ;-)
In addition to gnome/kde etc, how about loads of docs? All the howtos and LDP stuff? Anyone that wants a CD, shout now, so we can write them before Sunday!
Andrew.

Just bear in mind my burning capability extend to the usage of a departmental machine at uni. That's it.

Well, I thought every distro came with /usr/doc but then I only *know* RedHat does. Still, it's only like 2.5Mb or so for the txt howtos zipped.
btw, anyone tried sunsite,org.uk for redhat-6.0? I'm in e-mail communication with "wizard" at sunsite due to many of the directories being empty. Such is the scale of the lack of files I have recommended getting an entirly new copy of the redhat-6.0 directory. Weird.

SuSE, which I have (6.0), has the lot on the CDs, and they are loaded onto ones system by default (I probably declined the default). However, I'm sure we can sort something out.

I'm interested in CDs with Redhat 6 and gnome/kde on. If someone can bring some along I would be happy to pay for the media.

I've got 10 clean CDs here, which cost me a quid each. I'll bring them along, even if I don't get time to sort my burner out.

Hi All,
Okay, I've updated the website to list those that have said they'll be there - at the moment, it stands at 8, with a couple more I know of that haven't confirmed yet. Drop me a line people if you think you can make it!
Laurie: it's up to you on the sarnies front, as long as there's somewhere handy we can buy good grub, I'll be happy! (Those that know me well, yes I do mean "Adnams" when I say grub :-)
Hopefully we'll have a fair selection of CDs kicking around, and I can bring along a Zip drive if need be. I'll leave it up to you on the CD-burner front (hate to inflict needless hours of Win95 use on you).
Is someone bringing a mini-hub? Will I need spare cables etc?
I'll bring some cheapernet cable, I'll see if I can lay my hands on a hub. If anyone else has one, PLEASE BRING IT!
As for advertising: please print out http://www.anglian.lug.org.uk/images/advert.gif and stick it up wherever you can find space. If you'd rather have postscript or some other format, drop me a line. If you'd like the logo to put together another poster, gimme a shout. If you want to throw together a better logo - please do! (I'm not an artist, that's for sure.)
Andrew.
