edit-level="light">
The new Free Software Group NYLXS is throwing a big Install Fest on Sunday
11 November 2001 in Brooklyn.
http://www.nylxs.com
This Install Fest is free and open to all.
This Install Fest is made possible through the work and kind generosity of
the organizers and all the volunteers. We especially thank Ruben Safir,
Mrs. Safir, and Safirs of all ages.
Ruben Safir: http://www.mrbrklyn.com
All free software welcome! We do not discriminate among free kernels based
upon the first letter of their names. We shall install as many free
systems on as many machines and on as many different kinds of machines as
possible. We shall install both Linux kerneled and free *BSD kerneled
systems. Any person who installs or helps install the Hurd or Squeak or
any Lisp OS or any ML OS will be treated to a family drink.
All experienced installers are invited to come and help.
All students of economics, of the history of engineering, and of the art
of propaganda are invited.
Date: Sunday 11 November 2001, Veteran's Day.
Time: Starts at 3:00 pm.
Runs to 10:00 pm.
Late comers are just as welcome as those who arrive at 3:00 pm.
Location: Ruben's Place
1600 East 17th Street
Brooklyn, NY 11230
By Train:
Brighton Line Q (D is local in Brooklyn) to Kings Highway.
Walk to E17th Street - 2 blocks. Turn Left.
One Block - cross Ave P - 3 houses on the Left.
By Car:
Note there is a Parking Lot in E15th and Kings Highway.
BQE to Prospect Expressway to the end, into Ocean Parkway.
Drive to Ave P and make a Left to E17th
one block past the Elevated Subway.
By Car from South Queens:
Belt to Knapp Street.
Knapp to the end to Gertitson Ave to the end to Nostrand Ave.
Left on Kings Highway (one block on Nostrand)
Kings Highway turns INTO Ave P. Left on E17th Street.
Hardware: Bring the boxes on which you wish to run a Free OS.
Though it is safest to bring your monitor, keyboard, and mouse,
you need not. We will have such available onsite.
Internet connections via ethernet will be provided.
Telephone lines will be provided, so we can help with PPP.
Software: Bring whatever distribution CDs, boot and rescue disks, boot
managers, tiny distributions, manuals, and anything else you
want. Again, you need not bring any of these things, since
they will be available onsite.
Important: Everything done to/with any computer at any Install Fest,
and in particular, at this Install Fest, is done at the
specific request of the owner of the computer. As with
all human endeavor, there is some risk of catastrophe.
Back up all your data, before coming to the Fest! In addition,
make a list of all hardware and media you bring to the Fest,
and check that you have all your hardware and media when you
leave the Fest.
