Things on the installfest: With FC3 we're planning to have a network install repository available, and have it be an update repository. There was some talk a while ago about making a kickstart script for the install that would take care of a number of things, one thing that was mentioned was copying over a kernel with 8k stacks so wireless drivers work. Are we still going to need 8k stacks so the wireless drivers work? If so can someone make a custom FC3 kernel for us? Also I'm wondering if anything could be used in the kickstart script, and if someone is willing to make one for us. If anyone else can think of anything else that would b could to be prepared for please mention it so we can be ready. Also with other distros: we're more than happy to install them. I've heard some good things about ubunta[sp], and we usually install Mandrake as well. If there's enough people who use these distros, then we don't have to worry about helping people with things. -- Scott Paul Robertson http://spr.mahonri5.net GnuPG FingerPrint: 09ab 64b5 edc0 903e 93ce edb9 3bcc f8fb dc5d 7601
