Just 2c, but unless the presentations are on first and early, you are
going to have to put the lan somewhere else. there is no way you are
going to get games players to be quiet.
My style of games are CivCTP, freeciv and Railroad TycoonII. I also
have MythII, which I think is networkable(?)

Well, the thicknet & thinnet spine and drop cables. AUI fan out box,
bnc/thinnet fan out box, an 2x 8 and a 12 port UTP10 hubs and loan a
few network cards on the day.
Hint: SLUG is ALWAYS on the look out for donations of old networking
gear.

Can someone explain who needs software for CivCTP, RailRoad Tycoon and
MythII (is is network playable) as these are more my style of games.

What packages do you want on it?
Space is not a problem, but downloads are slow and need planning.
I guess I could bring the latest freeciv.

I replied to the list to tell people there are some other games played
other than doom and quake {:-). It is going to be an interesting day
to see how well people go in real mode, rather than cheat mode {:-).
