Sounds good to me. Hopefully we can wrap half or better of the installs with enough time left to do the ad hoc "getting started" presentation. That could be challenging, but we might pull it off if we keep the objective in mind. You'll have a disk for each participant, right? Dazed_75 wrote: >

Agreed though in my experience the questions never cease and I have a tendency to explain some things without them asking in the hopes of making it a better experience for them. I also find that when I get up to doing 3 at once it is easy to lose track of some detail. On Thu, Feb 11, 2010 at 3:42

I do not know the answer, but it is probably 17 different environments and it is best if we can talk to the people while doing their machines. Hence, I don't see it simply as doing many installs in parallel like one might do in a more corporate environment. I do think we 5 could get the job done
