Hi
A note from the ORGANIZERS:
We are trying to prepare USB-sticks with Linux to boot the computers
from. It seems we will have 3 sticks - for Fuego, for Steenwreter and
for for example HouseBot.
Oddly enough the computers will not boot from CD. We have no clues. :)
It will turn out later today whether it works or not, but booting
linux from a USB-stick worked fine for Gunnar Farnebäck.
Best regards
Basti Weidemyr

I'm not physically attending the EGC. In order to participate, I
needed to provide a windows executable and have someone operate the
bot on my behalf. I probably should have taken advantage of the
offer to use a Linux box, but I figured I'd make it easier on the
organizers :)

Why do you need a windows computer? It's my understanding that they
already supply windows Vista computers for you. And can't you bring
the software tools you need to install with you on a pen drive or on
cdrom?
