Indeed the question is about installers. Summers here, so people have more free time, that could mean more people available to help out. But OTOH summer is here, and there may be a lot of people who have gone back home for the summer, which could cut into the available helpers. It's hard to say whether this will be a problem. Maybe we should get a count of people who can be there with a signup form on the web page? I, for one, will be able to attend the install-fest at the currently planned date. ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
