Slackware, Mandrake, and I think Debian all ask for boot disks. My
experience in Linux installs is pretty much limited to these three,
though. Even so, its always a good idea to have boot floppies available
in case anything goes wrong during the install, or after the install,
for that matter.

The flyer's fine, methinks. People wouldn't remember the
plug.phoenix.az.us address on a flyer anyhow. The site should have the
banner I designed up sometime before the installfest which will likely
point to the press release.
